WTF???

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

How's that going in Oz, BTW? Crime rate down now that the ordinary citizen is unarmed? Constables are there to protect you at every turn? I think not.

Seeing as you ask,it's going spiffingly thank you.

Gun related crimes,even in armed robbery* are rare in Australia,as are police-caused death and police killed on duty.


A hint: If you're going to make a comment about another country,perhaps make some effort to make sure you know what you're talking about. Might make you look a little less ignorant.

*here 'armed robbery' rarely means a firearm. It more often means something like knife, ,screwdriver or perhaps a club of some kind. Rarely is a victim injured during a robbery here. Australia does not have the death penalty either.

Well, actually...

Nice one although perhaps a bit misleading.The figures refer to overall homicides,not just gun related deaths,which are lower.


In Australia the figure is 2.95 per 100.000 deaths a year

In the US it's 15.22, which is the highest rate of any country listed. (although to be fair,the figures are a few years old. I think Mexico may be higher theses days due to the open drug wars),

In Japan it's almost impossible be legally own a firearm. The rate of deaths from guns there is 0.07 per 100.000.,the lowest in the developed world.
