http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_AustraliaHave you read this one carefully... specifically the topic "Measuring the effects of firearms laws in Australia"? Does it not explain the contents of the first link? Don't you think it is a little ignorant to believe in an unbiased report that was created and published by a shooters club ?? get reall !!
This australian issue has beaten to death numerous times. There are a lot of skewed conclusions drawed on the available data just to support the standpoint that guns make society safer. I'm not that ignorant to believe anything that has been released by any group that has a special interest in the outcome.
This is even apart from the fact that Australia is nowhere as violent as the US in the first place.....
