Australian Gun Law Report
This report allegedly from an Australian police officer was posted on a cigar forum that I visit. Assuming it's factual, perhaps we in the US can learn from OZ's mistake.

I don't understand. Aren't there at least a couple of guys on this forum from Australia that obviously have firearms?? I think Dingoboyx is one.

Might wana do a bit of fact checking.
http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/ausguns.asp End point is that the statistics are misleading, and that short of a long term analysis, you really don't know what is going on.

Statistics prove that any point of view can be formed from statistics. |

G'day. Old news.
It is now over 12 years, not just 12 months as stated in the article.

This gets brought up, at least once a year. Very, very old news.
Closed, as it is a cut-n-paste drive-by and nothing new has been added. |
