Don't know if you ever watch Jon Stewart, but John Oliver just did a
brilliant 3 part series on Australia's effort to curb gun violence.
Highly recommned checking it out if you haven't seen it.
Enacated by conservatives, BTW.
The thing Oliver and most other people ignore is that although the
number of gun homicides fell, the number of murders remained pretty
constant only dropping about the same time US crime rates dropped.
(the last 8-10 years)
In fact the murder rate in Australia actually rose slightly for the 3
years after the buy back.

Sorry, Greg. Hard to take any of that seriously considering we
haven't a clue about the author or the veracity of research behind the
numbers.
Do you believe the Australian government?

Please show me how more guns equals less gun deaths.
