Gun Control

Remember Australia’s gun buyback confiscation program? It received more undeserved, empty praise than Lena Dunham’s underwear selfies. Said praise is mostly coming from American liberals, mind you (see Obama Praises Australia’s Gun Ban. The Actual Results…). The funny thing about that? American leftists don’t live in Australia, so they don’t see the results of the gun ban (or they do, and don’t give two craps about “results). Lucky for us, there’s reports that tell us what happened, like this one. Turns out gun control? Not looking so good…
 

Yikes. Seems rather a dramatic spike, yes?

So here’s the thing about gun control: it’s supposed to make gun crime go down, right? You know, as in not up. Looking at these numbers, I’d say that the whole “no guns” thing backfired… 

The worst part? Australian politicians tout gun control as an achievement… Meanwhile there’s more guns in the hands of criminals than ever, and law abiding Australians can’t even legally defend themselves.
We’ve known that Australia’s gun control is a big bucket of suck for a while now (see Australia’s Gun Ban Results in More Guns Than Ever… New Findings.). But this adds confirmation gun control doesn’t make people safer. In most instances, it makes people less safe. Hence the major increase in gun-related crimes. 

This research details the extent of Australian gun policy’s crappage. These are numbers you can use to melt the faces off your liberal friends when they try to tell you we need gun control (see GUN WIN: Missouri Eliminates Unconstitutional Concealed Carry Requirements.). Have fun with those 755 armed criminals, Australia.
