According to an editorial homicide rates are up 3.2% in Australia one year after the massive confiscation of guns. Assaults are up 8.6% and armed robberies are up 44%. In the state of Victoria (Melbourne, the capital) homicides with a firearm are up 300%. Before this year, the trend showed a general decrease in crime over the last 25 years.
