But it did. Name a mass shooting here since Port Arthur. There hasn't been a single one in twenty years. I'm not trying to pretend that criminals and domestic murderers won't use illegally obtained guns, or just knife each other, but the phenomenon of some depressed teenager or political extremist blasting into a crowd of random people is absolutely something that gun control stops, and if you want to use Australian data to argue against gun control that is the one point you need to concede.
"but the phenomenon of some depressed teenager or political extremist blasting into a crowd of random people is absolutely something that gun control stops"
Nigga what? Yeahh, who needs a gun anyways if you've got nothing more than a Srbosjek and the neck of some serb?

Petar "Pero" Brzica (born ca. 1917)[1][2][3] was a Croatian Franciscan of the "Order of Friars Minor" order who became a mass murderer during the Ustaše regime. He committed his atrocities at the Jasenovac concentration camp during World War II.
As a member of Ustaša, he held the rank of Lieutenant.[5][6] He won a contest in which he used a curve-bladed knife, also called a srbosjek ("Serb-cutter"), to kill newly arrived concentration camp prisoners.[7][8][9][10] Brzica boasted of winning the contest by killing the largest number of prisoners – 1,360 people.[11][12] Other sources set Brzica's "record" at a lower number, between 670[13] and 1,100.[14]
If blades are obsolete, I would love to hear your thoughts on this Franciscan serb wrangler. Or 9/11 (3,000+ kills, <33,000 maimed; stolen jets, no guns, only blades, pepper spray and fake suicide vests; even bare hands on Flight 77 since they got their items confiscated at the airport). The most killed by a gun in one incident was 69. The only thing you've got is frequency. That's it. Guns are more common because literally anybody can pick up a gun and just shoot it. But on average, it's about 4 kills or so, because you're not taking into account accuracy or other factors. Very rarely do you make it past 50 (this has only happened twice in the US). At least not in lone wolf style attacks we keep hearing about that Biden keeps pointing to.
Also, your statement makes no sense whatsoever. It'll stop the occasional high profile extremist or lonely incel, but not your average everyday crime? Doesn't sound like much of an improvement really, since that already accounts for most gun murders in the US annually. There are maybe 1 dozen mass shooting (4+ kills) a year, with maybe 2 or 3 dozen killed as a result.
Tl;dr? Ban niggers, not guns.
