[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2799233, member: 5412"] Got a reply from the Enid News. Thought my post was lost but it was not. Type Your Letter : The Umpqua Community College shooting is about mental health issues, not gun control. It is a common fantasy that gun bans make society safer. In 2002 -- five years after enacting its gun ban -- the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner. Even Australia's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime: •Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent. Moreover, Australia and the United States -- where no gun-ban exists -- both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:•Between 1995 and 2007, Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America's rate dropped 31.7 percent. •Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.•At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent•Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.While this doesn't prove that more guns would impact crime rates, it does prove that gun control is a flawed policy. Examiner.[url]http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/?Article_ID=17847This[/url] shows the US is #6 in mass shootings.[url]http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/?Article_ID=17847Chicago[/url], Baltimore, Detroit and DC have the strictest gun laws. They also have the highest murder rates. Criminals only prey on the weak. The biggest proponents of gun control have armed security guards. What does that tell you? [/QUOTE]
