Exactly; which is why if gun control advocates want to enact bans on classes of arms they need to stop being intellectually dishonest and start openly advocating for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment, as well as the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
Has the issue been ruled on yet by the ussc? I know you told me earlier it was headed there 1x but did it ever get there?
It's conversations like this that make me glad that we continue to fund the Veterans Administration mental health services. Why do you think Mam (sic) is an insult?
Australia Not the entire crime rate because that would be idiocy to expect gun legislation to stop littering or loitering but it did reduce our homicide rate
The number of homicides in Australia increased for four of the next six years after your ban, and your homicide rate decreased at a rate from 1996 to 2012 that matched the decline in the US homicide rate over the same time period.

Good morning. They were published by the respective governments, who trend to track that kind of data. I researched it years ago when I first saw someone compare Australia to US homicide rates and cited the 1996 Australian bans as the difference. I'm data driven. How you decided which of the Browning BAR Mk3, Browning BAR DBM or Springfield M1A National Match are military weapons? Aside: I've typed that question so many times now that it pops up in the suggested text on my tablet.
That's just "gun deaths". You're completely ignoring the substitution effect, where a killer simply uses something else. Note I said "homicide rate", which is a more accurate measure of the safety of society. Note also the frightening increases in sexual assaults and armed robberies. http://www.aic.gov.au/dataTools/facts/vicViolentCol.html
