I see that Australia despite its firearms ban is experiencing an all time high in firearms related crime!
I guess gun control really does work after all. Your logic is absolute genius. More guns less shootings. I see it now. |

Yeah lifting the firearms ban would clear that up and no doubt reduce fire arm use.

Disarming Realities: As Gun Sales Soar, Gun Crimes Plummet - Forbes The figures say exactly that gun ownership has increased and gun related homicide rate has decreased in the US It highlights in their stats that 70% of homicides are caused by guns and only 40% of guns are acquired illegally on a survey of inmates. So in theory whilst it does suggest no correlation between number of guns sold and people killed by guns it does allow for room that tighter gun controls would cut the percentage rate of homicides. None the less nice that some one has finally put out a tangible article to read. |

There will be some changes to the firearms act in Sept/Oct this year I hear :) |
