Australian firearm deaths down 50 pc

  • 發行項

To all my friends who love to tell me how “guns don't kill people“... A new report quoted in The Australian shows that in the last ten years, deaths from firearms have dropped in Australia by 50%. That's amazing. This stat particularly jumped out at me: The rate of female homicide victims dropped almost 70 per cent, from 0.44 per 100,000 to 0.14 per 100,000. Note it doesn't say that the women are getting killed by a DIFFERENT weapon, now that there are less guns on the street. It says there are LESS DEAD WOMEN. Gee - go figure.

    Look, we all have our opinions and this post isn't going to change any minds. It was wrong to post this article, and it was just as wrong to "take the bait".

    In order to preserve the usefulness of this site, we should refrain from making these types of comments, but when they are made the site admins need to slap the perpetrator's wrist and delete the offending text.

    So, please knock off the politics and start talking technology. Until then -- subscription deleted.

    (On review, that sounds a lot harsher than I meant it to be -
