[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 401918, member: 944"] IIRC, Australia's rate of death by guns was dropping even before the firearms buy-backs. (I am speaking from memory here, it is possible I am wrong, but I did go look at the raw data once before and thought I remember it showing that.) The fact that it has continued to decline, at basically the same trend line can be used by both sides to support their argument. PRO GUN: Australia's rate of gun deaths has declined at a steady rate despite the gun buy back and commensurate with similar declines on most western societies. (True) ANTI-GUN: Australia's rate of death by guns has declined to its lowest rate in history since the gun buybacks. (Also technically true.) You should go look at the actual data, not journalist summaries with axes to grind, and try to draw your own conclusions. My opinion is that the buyback did not do much good, but certainly does not appear to have done any harm either (except perhaps financially.) [/QUOTE]
