ORIGINAL: Real0ne Anyone who believes in 'gun control' needs to see this! gun control Dude, it's NRA propaganda. Learn to think for yourself: http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/ausguns.asp snopes? That seems to be a helluva lot of crime considering all the guns were taken away. At gun point I presume? See what I find interesting is that you just did EXACTLY what the Snopes article talked about. Did you even read the article or are you just congenitally obsessed with stupidity. You listed homicides as an absolute. You know what causes homicides to increase? Population increase dude. THEN you try and contrast this with homicide RATES in the USA. Bad news dude, you're engaging in statistical nonsense. quote:
That seems to be a helluva lot of crime considering all the guns were taken away. Are you high? 350 homicides in a country of 20 million versus your 32 and a half thousand handgun deaths alone in a country of 330 million. Now let's see what the ACTUAL homicide rates are: http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/homicide.html I presume the Australian Institute of Criminology is not a source whose credibility you will attempt to impugn. Let's see what they have to say: Over the past 18 years (1 July 1989 to 30 June 2007), the rate* of homicide incidents decreased from 1.9 in 1990-91 and 1992-93 to the second-lowest recorded rate, of 1.3, in 2006-07. *rate per 100,000 population. So let's recap. Australia, which has good gun control laws has a homicide rate which has decreased from 1.9 to 1.3 in 2007. The USA, which does not, has a homicide rate which peaked around 10.2 in 1980 and which has floated up and down to 4.7 in 2012. That's a helluva lot of crime considering that everyone's carrying guns. Basically your homicide rate is over 3 times ours. You can pretty much put that down to guns, dude. so as the red line on the chart I posted would show that 'violent crime' et al when people in the US arm themselves decreased by nearly 50% and as you can see below and from previous charts posted banning guns is a monumental failure. From your aussie crime stats lab: The aussies are splitting up the data to confuse people and pretend its better, most of the charts only show from 2000 forward and then the MSM, the bbc spins the failed police state model as monumental success.  as we can all see its a monumental failure with little to no improvement by comparison and its back on the rise in 2012! So what happened? Not enough police to guard every living man woman and child?
