@Vegas giants  There is nothing in that study that debunks a word I said. My hypothesis and premise is that due to the pathetically embarrassing low number of gun deaths (.004%, as demonstrated), there is no credible reason to consider gun violence as a huge threat in America. 

Give me something that actually addresses my argument, not some random facts that are irrelevant to my hypothesis. 

Seriously, @Huey  , there has to be some relationship between VG and Darth Evader. He does the exact same things.
1. Posts random sources that are irrelevant to the point.
2. Predictable.
3. Throws the same kind of tantrums.

Four types of laws were associated with the suicide rate, but only two had statistically significant relationships with it after controlling for all 10: permitless carry laws and bans on junk guns (these laws prohibit the sale of handguns that fail to meet certain safety requirements). Junk-gun bans are associated with a 6.4 percent reduction in overall suicide rates, whereas not requiring a permit for concealed carry was associated with a 5.1 percent increase in suicide rates.

So answer your own question 

how would those have stopped the Fedex shooting or the Boulder shooting? Weapons were legally obtained.

But in 2016, researchers took a broader view - the team reviewed 130 high-quality studies conducted in 10 countries over the past 60 years. And while they stopped short of saying they've conclusively proved that gun restrictions equal fewer deaths, the research provides pretty powerful evidence to suggest that it's the case.

Across countries, instead of seeing an increase in the homicide rate, we saw a reduction," lead researcher Julian Santaella-Tenorio from Columbia University told Zack Beauchamp over at Vox.

To figure this out, Santaella-Tenorio and his team systematically analysed 130 studies that had been conducted across 10 different countries, including the US, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, and Austria.

Each of the studies looked at some kind of specific gun legislation change, and its impact on gun-related homicides, suicides, and/or unintentional injuries or deaths, and was carefully selected for the quality of its research.

Santaella-Tenorio told Beauchamp that these overhauls generally included:

Banning "weapons that are actually very powerful", for example, automatic weapons.
Implementing background checks.
"They all required permits and licenses for purchasing guns," Santaella-Tenorio told Vox.
For example, in South Africa in 2000, the Firearm Control Act contained all these measures, and saw a 13.6 percent reduction in firearm homicides every single year for the next five years.

A similar overhaul law was introduced in Australia in 1996 in the wake of a mass murder, and according to one study, overall firearm death rates decreased by 14 percent the following year. Tellingly, there also hasn't been another mass shooting in the country in the 20 years since.

Automatic weapons are effectively banned.  They take tens of thousands of dollars, an extensive background check, and the supply available to the public is less than 500,000 weapons.  

There has been no mass murder since the 30s where one was used.  There are less than 5 crimes since the 80s where they were used.
