AUSTRALIA:
The Results Are In
The following is a synopsis of an interview conducted by Ginny Simone with Keith Tidswell of Australia's Sporting Shooters Association. The entire interview is available as "Surprise, Surprise" in the "Archive News" section of:
http://www.nralive.com/
One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic .22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government over 500 million dollars, the results are in...
A dramatic increase in criminal activity has been experienced. Gun control advocates respond "Just wait... we'll be safer... you'll see...".
OBSERVABLE FACT, AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2%
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6%
Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44% (yes, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT)
In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300%
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in homicides-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months)
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in armed-robbery-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months)
There has been a dramatic increase in break-ins-and-assaults-of- the-elderly
At the time of the ban, the Prime Minister said "self-defense is not a reason for owning a firearm"
From 1910 to present, homicides in Australia had averaged about 1.8-per-100,000 or lower, a safe society by any standard.
The ban has destroyed Australia's standings in some international sport shooting competitions
The membership of the Australian Sports Shooting Association has risen to 112,000, a 200% increase, in response to the ban and as an attempt to organize against further controls, which are expected.
Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns". Their response has been to "wait longer".
"...The best organization you've got there, the biggest organization you've got there is the NRA. We don't have an organization that size. We didn't have an organization that size, and as a consequence, we suffered. And we hope that you don't suffer..."

Gun control (people control) does work! If you don't think so, just ask Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao or Fidel: all advocates for "common sense" gun control laws......

the banning of automatic guns is all they did you can still own a shoot gun or a 22 ect , just not a militry style gun
there for you can still shot some one just one once
australias gun laws were brought in to stop the shoting of 30 people by some gun owning mad man with a militry weopons and that people it did stop , the part all u gun toting folks dont like to admit
there has not been a US style massicare in australia since
most gun crime is committed by people that have legal gun ownership as in the US ect and then snap because they dont like mondays or something
yes the crimes are still shoting each other here bikie gangs ect but who cares
australias gun laws were designed to stop the mass shotings of children in schools ect and that they have done
if you need an asult rifle join the army
i did not agree with john howards gun laws at the time but i can admit i was wrong
and unlike you i am not in hiding
