Chris in fact the evidence shows the exact opposite. Australian Gun control laws resulted in slightly fewer gun homicides but a huge increase in rape, assault, and home invasion type robberies.

Most attempts to show that gun control equals crime control founder upon any of several diffrent statistical anomalies.
It has not been proven by the statistics you have provided that local back ground checks prevented bad guys from getting guns as the difference between the fed checks and local checks lays well within the margin of error as another poster has already told you.
What you don't know about statistical analysis would and likely has filled several books.

Australia has one of the lowest rates of gun ownership in the world, according to the annual Small Arms Survey, released in Europe overnight.
The independent research project, based at the Graduate School of International Studies in Geneva, catalogues weapons production, stockpiles and illicit arms transfers.
In recent decades the Government has tried to reduce civilian gun ownership, notably through a weapons buyback scheme after the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996.
It has worked, with figures estimating there are only about 15 guns per 100 Australians.
In comparison, the United States has an estimated 90 guns for every 100 civilians - the highest rate of gun ownership in the world.
The study showed a difference with in the margin of error chris. Do you know what within the margin of error means?
Chris im sorry but anything written by the Washington post(who are anti-gun)is just about as credible as something from the Brady people.....why dont you try neutral sources or as neutral as possible.....and since you did not refute what i said about gang bangers buying guns legally,i am assuming that you believe they do....matter of fact i am going to assume,that you believe 8 out of 10 guys with criminal records go down to the gun smith first.....
Di.....if i lived in Oz and i wanted to have a gun at the house,just in case,would i be able to own one?......
Ignoring evidence that doesn't fit your worldview is a good way to stay ignorant.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns Releases Groundbreaking Report Showing a Strong Connection Between Weak Gun Laws and Interstate Trafficking of Ilegal Guns
Yes Harry, provided you complied with the storage requirements. It depends on what state or territory you were in but most of the laws are fairly similar. Any responsible gun owner wouldn't be offended by the storage requirements, they're in place to secure private weapons in the home against criminals who might do a break and try and get at them.
that kinda sounds like you Chris.....
Hardly.
The facts from the various studies are what I base my opinion on. I had no idea what worked until I started reading the studies and the statistics.
Still checking out your facts at the Edgar Cayce Institute for the Clinically Demented?
Demented?
Like trying to run Patrick down with your crappy van?
Hardly.

Chris every fucking thing you post is from an anti gun group or an organization that leans towards that way....your last post was from Michael "i dont want guns in my city" Bloomberg and a bunch of like minded Mayors.....what the fuck do you think most are going to say about what you post....are you so one sided you cant see what you post?....granted there has been some posts in here from pro-gun sites,BUT a hell of a lot of these post from your opposition here have been from some fairly neutral sites,DEBUNKING what you say,yet you go right back to the same shit from the Brady people the Wash.Post,and other anti-gunners.....and yet i will bet you are going to come back at this post with yet another rerun.....take off your dam blinders,you are beginning to sound like you are really old man Brady himself posting here....
That is your opinion.
I posted facts and statistics.
Take off your own blinders....
