I couldnt resist:


In March 2000, WorldNetDaily reported that since Australia's widespread gun ban, violent crime had increased in the country.

WND reported that, although lawmakers responsible for passing the ban promised a safer country, the nation's crime statistics tell a different story:


Countrywide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Amazingly, armed robberies have climbed nearly 45 percent.
In the Australian state of Victoria, gun homicides have climbed 300 percent.
In the 25 years before the gun bans, crime in Australia had been dropping steadily.
There has been a reported "dramatic increase" in home burglaries and assaults on the elderly.

This is natural though, just like the 1918 prohibition in the US, the more you take something away, the more ppl want it, if they give it back, youll see a spike for a while, then it will go back down, whereas just prohibiting it crime will continue to rise. why do u think the US has some of the highest stats for underage drinking and tabacco use? cuz we have the highest age limits on it, however we do have the worls lowest driving age eek: between 14-16, depending on the state.
