And you clumsily attempted to change it to deaths caused exclusively by firearms.
Demonstrably false. “In Australia we went from 614 firearm deaths in 1990 to 274 in 2016. That’s a fall from 3.4 deaths per 100,000 people to 1 per 100,000 in 2016,”
And now you are trying to do it again.
The fact is that the homicide rate has essentially remained the same from what it was before the ban. That is what you are so desperately trying to distract attention from and, as I noted
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAll they care about is that those being killed aren't dying by gun violence. They don't seem to be concerned about those killed by other means. Apparently it makes them less dead or something.

Originally posted by Sparko View Post500 guns is still nothing.
So in effect the number turned in was half of nothing
These dismal results goes a long way in explaining why the MSM dropped this like a hot rock.

Originally posted by Zymologist View PostIt isn't so much that he thinks Stalin was right-wing, as he apparently defines authoritarianism and dictatorships as right-wing. Good to know that leftists can't be authoritarian, I guess.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAnd as Raph has noted the actual number was about half of that since a couple hundred of the items turned in weren't firearms but parts.

Now the question is, did starlight pick a source that had latter figures than everyone else, or did starlight cherry pick the only source that gave a higher (though still ridiculously low) number.
