Port Authur then gun laws were changed..... what happened next? In the last 20 years how many mass shooting have there been? NONE not one.
The great thing about facts is that you can't make them up. Mass shootings since Port Arthur include the 2002 Monash University shooting spree, the 2011 Hectorville siege, 2014 Hunt Family murders and the 2014 Lindt Cafe murders.
More importantly, look at the massacres using any method and it's clear that Port Arthur was a fairly unique event in our lifetimes with the rates declining pre and post (BTW the 1984 event was the Milperra shootout between the Comancheros and Bandidos bikie gangs)

Monash University was not a mass shooting, look it up. Nice try at trying to throw it in there though, 4 or more people killed? No
Hectorville three people killed - it is not a mass shooting, the definition of a mass shooting is more than 4 people not including the shooter.
Hunt family murders were a murder suicide hence it is called the Hunt family MURDERS, it was not a mass shooting once again read the defination of a mass shooting, it is very different from a murder suicide. You like quoting stuff so stick to what the definition says and don't try and make something out to be what it is not.
Lindt Cafe Siege? You call it the Lindt cafe murders ok fair enough but it was not a mass shooting. How many people were killed? Was it 4 or more? No it wasn't, it was not a mass shooting. There was only 1 person killed by the shooter and the police killed one. How can you call the shooting of one person by the shooter a mass shooting? It was one person.
Going by the defintion of a mass shooting there have been none, you are just trying to make up shit.
Tell me of a shooting that has been 4 or more people not including the shooter.
Let me give you a few examples,
Central coast massacre, 6 dead,
Hoddle street massacre, 7 killed.
Strathfield 7 dead.
Give me an example of where 4 or more people have been shot not including the victim, oh wait there have been none.
As you say the great thing about facts is you can not make them up.
Oh wait I missed something here obviously when you say mass shooting you don't mean "mass shooting" you mean your individual meaning of mass shooting how silly of me, lets not talk about the actual definition. What is your definition so we are on the same page? This is like tax is theft or meat is murder type stuff, not the widely accepted but your "special" definition no-one else knows about.
