Speaking of Australia
From Kevin, turns out their draconian gun laws don’t reduce homicide or suicide:
New research on Australia’s gun laws published in the Sydney University journal Current Issues in Criminal Justice examines the strengths and weaknesses of a series of papers on Australia’s firearms legislation, and highlights “best-practice approaches to evidence-based policymaking.”
What is the conclusion of the report? Two things. First, there is no evidence that gun laws save lives. Second, “anti-gun extremists” rely of flimsy evidence.

SAY IT ISN’T SO!
It’s almost like we’ve been right all this time! Nah, can’t be it.

Oh my god! You mean facts don’t lie?!
Too bad so many folks are immune to the facts even if you continually throw the truth in their face.
