Well,, if you think a drop in homicide rate of .6 percent sense the ban a tremendous success,, okay..

@SpikeTalon 20 years after the buyback, not in aussie it isn't

@SpikeTalon firearm related deaths in aussie in 2017 = less than 1 per 100,000. Firearm related deaths in usa in 2017 12.2 per 100,000. So much for your black market theory.
Those figures include suicides and if you just look at homicides the firearm related deaths in aussie are 0.1 per 100,000. If you look at a graph of firearm deaths in aussie since 1980 it shows a decreasing curve that you would expect as the firearms are slowly removed from the population. The effect of the black market economy is negligible, probably because of their great expense on the black market putting them out of the reach of petty criminals.

@SpikeTalon okay, we're obviously arguing at cross purposes then. However, I would like to point out that New Zealand and Australia are two different countries and the mosque shooting was in NZ. We would happily annexe the place but then we'd have to put up with all them bloody kiwis.
