Think about it ... which measures really caused the effect?
The results from Australia aren't controversial, but if you can link to a study that shows the gun violence didn't really decrease in Australia after the ban I'd be interested in reading it.
We're talking about guns and gun related violence, so no.
What am I looking for here, can you summarize it?

dunno if it will ever make a difference... but no matter if gun crimes went slighty up or down... it doesnt stop gun crimes and always disarms law abiding citizens while enabling the bad guys....

OK, OK!
I'm going to find a thread where they are discussing violence and death using any instrument.

just something to look at..... draw your own conclusion... pretty boring but is official...lol
Well, homicides are down from 354 in 1996 to 260 in 2010, but it doesn't break it down by method.

I understand the occurrence of deaths by Aluminum Baseball Bats was up.
There was talk of outlawing baseball but not softball since that is only played by girls in Australia.
I think they forgot that those girls have brothers and fathers.
No one ever claimed that you would/could completely eliminate gun violence. There is no question that you can reduce the incidence by reducing the number of guns in circulation.

How about in free countries?
Oh wait! If all guns are banned, they wouldn't BE free countries.

Oh wait, whats a free country ?
Only those that allow guns ?
Oh those that allow freedom of choice, such as prostitution, abortion, much lower drinking age than 21, more freedom of the press, nude river beaching , etc?
If you go by "Freedom" because of guns only, than Afganistan is a much freerer country than that of the US.
