    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

    If you click on the title of the column "Total" twice, it will sort them from highest to lowest. US is the 13th, after Mexico the 12th. Be mindful that some countries aren't listed, such as Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. This is probably because there are no established means of taking reliable statistics there.

    Anyway, AU is 0.86 vs US's 10.30 per 100,000 residents. So AU getting rid of guns decreased gun related deaths, according to these statistics.

    Please show us the change in gun related deaths over time in AU noting the dip when the gun laws were changed.

    There is a price to pay for freedom. The safest place, assuming they don't let you get raped continually and beaten, is prison.

    In fact, prison is a left winged paradise. Everything is divided up equally among everyone else and everything is paid for by the tax payers.

    And just think, every day is gay pride day.
    you can still have guns in australia.


    you still have freedom in australia. more freedom than you have in the US. for sacrificing their "right" to buy guns whenever they want, they gained the right to not be killed.

    the mysteries of life, must be because "Everybody Loves Raymond" started in 1996.
    yes, in a population of more than 200 million , there are some people who did not experienced a gun massacre.


    if 100 buildings suddenly collapsed in the US, each killing 50 people, would it be safe to say the US doesn't have a gun problem, that there are vast millions who didn't experience a collapsed building and we shouldn't do anything anyway.
