[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] To get back to the topic of guns.. especially since nobody's posted in a while.. I came by this piece of information from a fairly reliable source... perhaps some of our Australian friends can confirm or deny it for me. *Blinks* Erm, I forget if we actually have any Ozzie's here, but.. whatever. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] My soure stated that Australia recently had a major nationwide gun confiscation effort, which netted 640,000 weapons, which they melted down. My source then went on to say that immediately afterwards, the number of homicides, assaults, and armed robberies in that country went UP, rather than down. Further, that homicides with firearms went up 300 percent in Victoria, and nationwide armed robberies climbed 44 percent. If true, I would like to use this as an example of the main folly of gun-control positions, the belief that when decent, law-abiding people (as most Australians certainly are) are deprived of their ability to self-defend, and criminals, being bad guys, hold onto theirs, only good things can come of it.
