I met more than a few Aussies locally and on another gun forum and if you think control propaganda, I mean facts, is bad here, you should read the stuff there. One of the guys runs an Aussie gun board and I can usually count on him for backup info to counter friends/people who parrot the propaganda saying that Aussie gun control is working so well.
Well, gun deaths may have done down gradually (at least I think the stats showed that initially, not sure on recent trendings), but other stuff like violent crime, assaults, stabbings, beaten with bats, etc have gone WAY up. Well, criminals don't follow the laws and will find a way. Their self-defense laws, or laws that effectively handcuff citizens to basically make them unable to lawfully defend themselves are also ridiculous.
I'll try to remember to post links here when I get home.
