>Additionally, Australia has experienced a large increase in robberies. Even if a robber isn't using a gun, a robber can still use other weapons if he knows that the victim doesn't own a gun.

Your source please? If its relating back to the document I talked about, you're beeing fooled again. Crime still will exist without guns, its just that they will be less violent and deadly.

Guns don't solve problems, they escalate.
BTW, there is a campaign on the dutch media exactly making this point for knives and other weapons.

and you know... if the dutch invent something... it will come to the US (State pensions, Abortion, Gay marriage) :)
