It is a common fantasy that gun bans make society safer. In 2002 -- five years after enacting its gun ban -- the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner. A common fantasy??? I call BS. The intentional violent homicide rate in the US is nearly 5 per 100,000. Murder rates in other first world countries are around 1 per 100,000, including Australia. The US murder rate is more typical of third world countries. Having said that, even Iraq has a lower murder rate..........2 per 100,000. Abundant guns make murder and other violent crimes just that much easier to perpetrate. So much for winger lies...................... en.wikipedia.org
