Scary trend in Australian gun crime

MONDAY’S siege in Sydney that saw three people shot and three held hostage before the gunman turned the firearm on himself was a terrifying reminder of the Lindt cafe crisis just over a year ago.

It comes as another man was shot dead in Victoria at close range last night, three days after a man was killed in a suspected shooting at a Melbourne motel and four days after a man was shot dead at a property in Ipswich, Queensland, with police called just after 2am.

Last month, a man accused of a shooting in Canberra allegedly boasted to police that the victim would be dead if he had pulled the trigger, because he had significant experience with firearms, despite not having a licence.

There were 207 firearms deaths in Australia in 2013, a rate of 0.93 per 100,000 people, higher than in 19 other countries, including the UK, Bolivia and Zimbabwe.

While we often shake our heads in horror at America’s problems with gun crime, it’s clear we are far from immune from the deadly influence of firearms.


But...they confiscated guns......right? They have extreme gun control...right?

But the anti gunners on U.S. tell us Australia got rid of their guns.....and make fun of me when I say that gun levels in Australia are back up......apparently bigger than before....?

THE YEAR IN GUNS

While the tightening of gun laws following the Port Arthur massacre drastically reduced the number of guns in private ownership, it’s believed the figure has now climbed to even higher than before the devastating shooting.

There are currently around three million registered firearms in Australia, according to gun control researcher Philip Alpers from Sydney University’s School of Public Health. This compares to less than 2.2 million registered firearms in July 2001. He estimates that there are about 200,000 illegal handguns on the streets, many of them stolen.

I was told I was dumb for saying gun crime was increasing in Australia......

In New South Wales, weapons offences have risen 8.7 per cent per year over the past five years, to 11,471 in the year to September 2015. The New Daily reported in November that incidents involving firearms rose 83 per cent in NSW from 2005-6 to 2014-5. Charges for possession and trafficking of guns in South Australia saw a 49 per cent rise over four years.
 
Tell me again how I am wrong......

Victoria is similarly affected, with a 52 per cent increase in firearms offences to 3645 between 2009-10 and 2014-15. In Tasmania, there was a 26 per cent increase in firearm-related offences between December 2012 and 2015.

Victoria police chief Steve Fontana this week expressed fears about the rapid increase in shootings in the past eight months.

The state’s Crime Statistics Agency Chief Statistician Fiona Dowsley said in December: “Weapons and explosives offences and drug use and possession offences have again seen statistically significant increases this quarter.”

What did the Australian journalist say....

Most importantly, the number of illegal and often stolen firearms filling the streets is huge, and gun-related crime is rising in many parts of the nation.
 
And more....

At the end of 2011, there was a “spate of shootings in Sydney”, including five separate incidents in the space of four hours, the NSW Bureau of Statistics and Crime Research revealed in a report. It found there had been a 41 per cent increase in drive-by shootings in the previous 24 months.

Since then, there have been an average of 20 drive-by s

yeah.....maybe you could help me with this question......since the gun grabbers obviously can't....

When you confiscate guns.....is the gun crime rate supposed to go up...ever? I mean...isn't the whole point to disarming law abiding people who don't commit crime supposed to keep gun crime from rising....isn't that what they say it is for?

Whoa murders are increasing in Australia? What's the murder rate?

Murders are increasing in Australia. What's the fun ownership rate?
The gun ownership rate is increasing. But surely there's no connection.


Well...if you use America as an example...

2007...4 million Americans had concealed carry permits.....our crime rate went down, our gun murder rate went down...

2012...11.1 million Americans had concealed carry permits...320 million guns in private hands....our violent crime rate went down again,, our gun murder rate went down again.

2013..12.8 million Americans had concealed carry permits....over 320 million guns in private hands...and our violent crime rate went down again...and our gun murder rate went down again...

2014....13 million Americans had concealed carry permit....over 357 million guns in private hands....and our violent crime rate went down again...and our gun murder rate went down again...

What appears to be happening in Australia...their criminals may be starting to shoot each other more often......it may have to do with the fact that immigrant gangs are starting to grow there and do not share the cultural values of native Australians that generally kept the murder rate low.....even before the confiscation....
