You always try to change the subject don't you. We are talking about the murder rate. I bet the dead people (or their family) don't care that the murderer used a knife or a blunt instrument. If you look at this chart, you see MORE people were murdered the year after the guns were confiscated and they had a huge spike in 2001-2002 with virtually no guns in the country. You take some graph spikes to make outlandish claims? Not wise. Then somebody just links this. http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2013/s3694783.htm Here's the bottom line: "...the number of homicide victims in Australia has dropped by 31 per cent over the last decade and the proportion of murder or manslaughter crimes committed by firearm has dropped to an historic low of 13 per cent." So basically what you've said about Aussies just changing weapons to commit even more murder - is gun-nut bull****. So is your above "virtually no guns in the country" gun-nut bull**** There are +3 million registered civilian guns, and many illegally held guns in Australia. Luckily for Aussies, 90% of their gun deaths are suicide or domestic incidents. Besides, Australian laws are just used as a red herring for gun-nut Americans. Totally different country. Just a way to distract from the fact that the gun-nuts here want it kept legal to sell guns to anybody without a background check. That includes criminals and nutjobs. That way they keep themselves "legal" when they sell to criminals and nutjobs. Legal trash anyway. This did not come from the NRA either. It is from the Australian government. You should be ashamed of yourself, posting that bull**** graph, then spinning yarns about what it means. |
