However, it's interesting that Chicago has strict gun control and yet there is a humongous amount of gun crime. I need to go back and look at the video i posted on Aussie gun crime.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-9095103758961985542013-09-06T12:51:03.478-04:002013-09-06T12:51:03.478-04:00Americans have propagated plenty of cherry-picked ...Americans have propagated plenty of cherry-picked stats in response to Australia's gun laws.<br /><br />http://phys.org/news/2013-01-faking-nra-pro-gun-americans-abuse.html<br /><br />The reality is Australia has never had anything close to the level of per capital gun ownership of the United States (where guns I believe outnumber people), so guns have not been a major factor (either in commission or deterrence) in Australian crime statistics, which have continued to fluctuate both up and down due to other factors.<br /><br />Of course this doesn't count specific gun-related crimes, which obviously went way down; however, mass shootings have stopped, and have not been replaced with a corresponding increase in mass beheadings, mass automotive over-runnings, or mass lethal sharp stickings. In this sense, the Australian gun laws did achieve their intended goal.edgardehttp://surlygeek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-1075573769050728782013-09-04T03:28:35.534-04:002013-09-04T03:28:35.534-04:00"Would peace be possible if the leaders could..."Would peace be possible if the leaders could just get out of the way of the people?
