From the short time I looked at these, I cannot tell how Australias gun control laws helped a bit. It looks like it had no effect at all, maybe even a negative effect. It just reinforces the old saying - If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

If the existing laws in the US were enforced, we wouldn't need new laws. Unfortunately, its easier to create laws than it is to enforce them.

I'm sorry you dont want to hear the car vs gun arguement, but you are not interested in hearing the criminal vs non-criminal arguement, so i guess we are even. What about Switzerland where everyone is required to have a gun in their house? Why are their crime rates so low?
