Did you see this last bit on the page Lefty showed us?
The next time a credulous friend tells you that Australia actually experienced more crime when it got tougher on crime, offer your friend a Fosters and a helping of truth.
Actually,
not one of the statistics they cited even suggests that Australia experienced less crime after passing this gun control legislation.
Note that they haven't shown us anything that would justify concluding that armed robberies or homicides have declined at all -- though they clearly do want us to get that impression anyway.
Oh, they didn't
quite say that they'd said that Australia
hadn't experienced more crime, exactly, or that that you should tell your "credulous friend" that in so many words, but...
Like I said: tricky! :eyes:
As we all know, one key argument against the efficacy of gun control as crime control is that such measures have the effect of disarming potential victims and removing street-level deterrence to crime; this obvious attempt by the Bradys at talking around that question sure seems kinda
dishonest.
