Per David Kaye:
Okay, you don't believe it? Here's an article from Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/ausguns.asp I found that tb an enlightening discussion of some of the fallacies involved when people cite statistics.

Per HeyBub:

After reading the Snopes article with it's sever observations on how statistics can mislead, I'm reluctant to take *any* statistic at face value. -- Pete Cresswell |

That's Australia. In the U.S., gun crime went UP during the gun ban. You don't know because the BATF has not released gun-specific tallies. Why not? Because the NRA managed to get a rider to an appropriations bill passed that prevents the BATF from releasing this data. |

I know they don't drive at night in most parts of Western Australia and on the Nullabor because of kangaroos. But I've been out at nights with mates in urban areas across OZ. |

People in the US OVERALL have less fear of going out in the dark then the people in the UK, AU, and NZ. Tells you just how safe all those disarmed citizens feel. And how empowered all the criminals are. |
