Australian Gun Buyback
Gun registration is a runaway train that will carry the bad guys to freedom and expose the law-abiding to great danger.
I have just returned from my native country, Australia, and am horrified to learn that within the 12 months since law-abiding citizens surrendered 640,381 guns in a buyback campaign, this is what happened: homicides up 3.2%; assaults up 8.6%; robberies up 44%.
Funny thing happened in the government’s rush to disarm Australia: The bad guys didn’t turn in their guns. How strange!
