I ignore the law. Does that make me a criminal? Do you obey speed limits at all times?

No it isn't. Only a small percentage of Aussie guns were confiscated. Ever heard of the saying that "criminals ignore the law". No matter how many times/ways you make murder illegal - they just ignore that law too. Then enforce the law. And it needs to be pointed out that the Aussie crime problem is miniscule compared to the crime problem in the US....absolutely miniscule. At one point in the article I read, they were complaining that the country had 200 murders one year in a population of 20 million people. What a joke. We would be celebrating in the streets with a murder rate so low. We have a serious crime problem in this country and you can make all the excuses you want but guns are killing a lot of Americans needlessly.
