But...Australia confiscated guns...how is gun crime on the rise?

Yes.....gun crime is on the rise in Australia...why? Because criminals are using guns to commit crimes.....while law abiding Australians are not committing crime with their guns.....

Surge in Melbourne gun crimes compels crackdown

"Melbourne is in the grip of an unprecedented wave of gun violence." With these words, The Age this week began a three-day investigative series that should concern every citizen of a metropolis that has repeatedly snared the accolade of "world's most liveable city".

Our comprehensive package is about more than liveability; it is a matter of life and death. As gun-related crime has surged, innocent people have been killed in the crossfire, and more will be unless concerted action is taken by those who make laws and those who enforce them.

The facts are chilling and compelling. In as little as five years, gun crimes have more than doubled.

But.....how do criminals carry guns in Australia...they confiscated guns in Australia...right? And how would criminals get guns and how would they carry them...they are illegal...right?



Some very dangerous people are involved; in 2015 alone, more than 750 people with serious criminal convictions were caught carrying guns. That's up a staggering five times since 2011.


Shootings have literally become a weekly event.

Crimes related to firearm possession have more than doubled in the past five years.

The number of young criminals has rocketed; almost 1500 people aged between 20 and 34 committed a gun offence last year, more than twice the number five years ago.

A culture of carrying, and using, guns is becoming worryingly entrenched in criminal circles.

So.....how do people with criminal records in Australia...a group already prohibited from owning guns...guns that were already confiscated......how do these criminals get guns when they are absolutely against the law for these people to own them...?

Those are very interesting questions. The answers to which we both know (for those who do not know, IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LAW!!!!). This is the side of "gun control" the left does not want us to know about.

Here is part 2 of the actual series on the gun crime problem in gun controlled Australia...

Gun city: Chasing the silver bullet

Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission chief executive officer Chris Dawson admits the “serious national problem” of illegal guns circulating through the country is far from well-defined.

Guns, points out Assistant Commissioner (Crime) Stephen Fontana, are surprisingly easy to hide, and traffick.

“You can pull them apart, you can bring it over with a whole lot of car parts and metal in there. That's the challenge.”
