I thought since such was illegal in Australia there wouldn't be any our these in existence down there.
Shoot, I can give you a ton of information proving the failure of the Australian Gun Confiscation. I don't have the link, but in 2004 (I believe) the director of the Australian Bureau of Justice stated that it was a failure. It is definitely commendable that they haven't had a mass shooting since but the rest of their crime has done nothing but sky rocket. I.E. women in Australia are 3 times more likely to be raped and a 46% increase in armed robbery...AndyC wrote:If anyone brings up Australia, hit them with this beauty:
"Australia is in the grip of a gun-plague with an estimated 250 thousand illegal weapons stashed away. The federal government says many are smuggled in. A quarter of a million illegal firearms - enough to give every soldier in the Australian Army 8 guns each."
"Sydney's notorious drive-bys...
"Alarm in police ranks over the number of machineguns being uncovered on Perth's streets..."
I had this debate with some people on FB who posted the farcical statistics some blogger put out. Even when citing Australia's own stats there are those who ignore facts and logic, taking a purely emotional postion. Gotta keep fighting anyway.AndyC wrote:Perhaps you're referring to this one from the National Center for Policy Analysis?
http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/?Article_ID=17847In 2002 -- five years after enacting its gun ban -- the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner.
Even Australia's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault -- Australia's equivalent term for rape -- increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
I'm using my second video a LOT in online debates with antis who love Hillary's recent mention of the Aussie gun-grab - it drives them crazy because it comes from Aussie TV stations
