Hearing Australia has now stooped to a house to house search for firearms here are the results of their firearm ban.
It cost the government over 500 million dollars.
The government destroyed 640,381 firearms the owners were forced to surrender, including .22 semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
Homicide is up 3.2%. In the state of Victoria it's up 300%!
Armed- robberies are up 44%!
Assaults are up 8.6%
There has been a large increse in breakins and assaultts on the elderly.
Figgures from the previous 25 years before the ban shows a decline in both armed-robbery and homicide.
It has destroyed Australia's standings in most international sport shooting competitions.
At the time of the ban the Prime Minister said "self-defense is not a reason to own a firearm"
Homicide rate before the ban was 1.8 per 100,000, low by any standard. It makes me wonder then why a gun bar was needed at all. Now with the house to house search I know and I thank God I live in America.
