GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Blindgreed1]

Yet the population grew, therefore homicides per capita fell. Now quote the US numbers if we want to talk mediocrity.

Your growth rate was 1.2% per year. If it wasn't for the uptick in 1999 you might be onto something, but alas you grew your average 1.2%, had "no guns" and an increase in homicides. Apparently Fosters is Australian for beer and murder without guns is Australian for winning.

Apparently you get sucked in by marketing hype and what you see on TV. Fosters is Australian for cats piss that we export to gullible dopes with no taste buds. Hardly anyone in Australua drinks it. I haven't even seen it anywhere for sale lately.

Now on those number again..

The US homicide rate sits at about 5 per 100000 citizens per annum. The Australian rate is 1. Your gun related homicide rate is about 3.5, making your non gun related homicides about 1.6.

So, even your non gun related homocide rate, per capita, is higher than our total?

Still winning!

You better reward your own mediocrity with a Fosters.

The numbers for your ban on guns don't support any change in homicide rates regardless of your growth rate. The mean is actually dead even with what it was prior to the ban on guns in your country and it cost your govt. tons of money to pull it off. You want to call that winning, be my guest. Your participation trophy is on it's way.
