I'm not condoning what Australia did, but crime has went down remarkably in AU since these new laws took effect several years ago. One thing though, AU didn't have a constitutional amendment like our 2nd amendment.

The elephant in the room no one wants to mention is that Blacks while making up 13% of the population account for 55% of gun murders. I personally believe that if there were more jobs available in inner cities this rate would be reduced dramatically Our gun crime rate is a cultural one. No law can fix that. In Australia the crime rate had been dropping since the late 60's. And non gun related crime is up. Including murder, a murder is the same whether a gun is used or not. Australia never had a huge gun violence problem to begin with.

Notice the rate stays pretty well even. Like I said no law will ever prevent crime or stop bad things from happening, what can however is creation of jobs and giving folks in the inner cities a choice other than crime.
