Australian Gun Ban Results: Deadly!
Just over a year ago, Australia followed in the footsteps of
mother country Great Britain and made law a total ban on hand
guns.
The gun ban and confiscation program cost the Australian
government more than $500 million. Sometimes using deadly force,
authorities there collected 640,381 personal firearms.
And now the results are in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2
percent (in a country that has a low homicide rate).
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44
percent).
In the state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300
percent.
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in
armed robbery with firearms - since the gun ban this has changed
for the worse.
There has been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults on
the elderly.
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."
An e-mail circulating the Web reveals the harmful effects of the
Australian gun ban, noting that "you won't see this data on the
evening news or hear your governor or members of the state
Assembly disseminating this information."
Another Australian offers a warning: "Guns in the hands of honest
citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws only
affect the law-abiding citizens. Take note, Californians and
other Americans, before it's too late!"
