    Update on gun control in Australia

    The murder rate in NSW (australia's biggest state and 1/3 of the total population) has fallen to its lowest rate in more than 20 years.

    It's for a lot of reasons not just guns.. but it's still another nail in the coffin for the bogus NRA propaganda about Australia.

      yep. We have a decent welfare system though, more like Canada I guess. Our assault levels are boosted mainly in the Northern Territory with the alcohol and race issues.

            Ssshhh - we don't like to talk about that. We prefer the spin that says there was no one here when the first white man arrived and all those black men that kept appearing were just the figments of delusional minds unhinged from long months at sea.

                Now that one is a definite piece of misinformation. I know a lot of history books will tell you that all Tasmanian aborigines were wiped out but that is not the case.

                Tasmania is leading the nation in handing over large parcels of native title land to the aboriginal descendants of the tribes that inhabited the island when white man arrived.

                        Um, well, I can't decide if maybe what you're saying is just some modern propaganda or something. I had a look around the net and thsi dude called 'William Lanney' was the last full blooded aboriginal from Tasmania.

                        Were you in lonnie or hobart?

                          I lived in Hobart where there was quite a large Aboriginal community with title to a large area of land at Risdon Cove on the banks of the Derwent within the Hobart metropolitan area.

                          I haven't got a clue whether the Tasmanian aboriginals are full blood or only part - it doesn't matter much because the community, the laws and the government recognise them as aboriginal and that's all that really matters.

                            The English invaded Australia.

                            There were no 'Australians' until 1901.

                                    "The bureau's director, Don Weatherburn, said the falls were due to various factors, including lower heroin use, higher wages, a greater number of drug addicts re-entering methadone programs, higher imprisonment rates of burglars and fewer young men in long-term unemployment."

                                    fucking nra telling people using heroin is ok! i did a search an no where in that article does it mention guns or weapons whatsoever other then this one line

                                    "Dr Weatherburn said the lower murder rates could be ascribed to a fall in the number of mass murders and armed assaults, and improved medical treatment for victims. "

                                    maybe ill just take your word for it.

                                        if there were more guns owned by the bosnian's then maybe they could have defended themselves against the serbs more effectively and we could have let our military stay at home...


                                        personally I like to have the option to PROTECT MYSELF and family...waiting for the gov to do it, or local police is just not rational...do you wait until the gov wants to feed you to eat? should the gov start telling you where to live? what about clothing, they should do that for you too? all basic human rights imo...food, clothing, shelter, protection

                                              it's not a nail in anything. you said it yourself. your stats are muddled with other variables.
