Rarebird: With all due respect: 6.12.00 Australian Gun Control Update It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing the government more than $500 million dollars. Here are Australian Senator Richardson's claims. Australian-wide: Homicides are up 3.2 percent Australian-wide: Assaults are up 8.6 percent Australian-wide: Armed robberies are up a whopping 44 percent In the state of Victoria Homicides with firearms are up 300 percent Figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms (but increased drastically in the past 12 months) There has been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly. Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been served after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns". canuck-l-head
