why does it show Australia having zero until 1984? The incident that started the trend was not a mass shooting as most think of it, it was seven casualties of a shoot out between two criminal gangs. Would the trend continue if NFA hadn't passed? Nobody actually knows.

I suspect there is some card stacking as well.
