australian gun control

1/2

Our ex prime minister john howard got on your tv last night to LIE to your nation that gun control worked down under.

I am here to give you the real facts and dispute every single one of his lies with cited sources.
Your job is then to save all these facts and BTFO anyone who tries to lie that aussie gun control worked.
You will prevent the tragedy that happened to us happening in your nation and perhaps even redpill a few of my own countrymen as to the lies we've been fed.

>John howard claimed we have not had a mass shooting since port arthur
We have had FOUR since.

Now time for some bonus points. Last week in victoria we've had 15 shootings, source below. We also had ANOTHER seige in sydney in the last week.

This is the first lie they push about our country. That the violence stopped. It did not stop, it has been brutally supressed due to gag and control orders on our media.

I find it amusing that people who want to ban guns thinking it will reduce gun crime.
Especially when they point to Australia as being a "gun control success story".

Australia is having an increase in crime, and has had one since the gun ban in 1997. Gun crime HAS gone down, yet what anti-gunners will not tell you is that it was dropping BEFORE the ban.

Did you know: one in ten of all guns seized by police from criminals in Australia is a DIY submachine gun?
Here are some articles showing the major failures of Australia's "tough" gun laws you won't see on TV-
