Whatever the statistics for murders or mass murders are AFTER the Port Arthur - they are LESS than they would be had Australia NOT attacked the PROBLEM and realized that the SOLUTION was to eliminate the fast-shooting semi-auto rifles. They did NOT decide to HARDEN all their schools because that IS the WRONG solution. And that adds further PRROF to what I have been saying. And their MAIN success is that their children do NOT have the TERROR that US children have when they start school soon. Australia and ALL the other 1st world counties, other than the US prove that organizations like the NRA can be BEATEN because people can see that such GREED is unpatriotic and gets their citizens (children and adults) KILLED! Wake up America or the TERRORISM will continue and get worse!

So, facts don't matter. Nearly twice as many mass murder events have happened after Port Arthur that happened before Port Arthur and that is a "win"? After Port Arthur there have been 25% more people killed than before Port Arthur and that is a "win"?
Why is it that if they were slowed down in their killing spree that there have been more events and more people killed? I can't connect those dots.
I think you previously mentioned you were a member of the NRA in the past. If that is true, then you must realize that the NRA is comprised of it's membership, approximately 5 million Americans. When you attach labels to the NRA you are attaching them to your fellow citizens. I would posit they are more patriotic than those who deny them their Rights as acknowledged by the Constitution.
Critical thinking seems to be gone. People are being spoon fed by social media, the main stream media and are too lazy to do their own research. Trust but verify are very wise words.
