I am curious about an article I read recently about Australia and don't know anyone else to ask about it,so I thought I'd ask one of the Aussie gentlemen that hang out on here. Is it true that about a year ago, the government confiscated most or all of the personal firearms of Australian civilians? And since that time the violent crime rate has skyrocketed? For example, the article says that homicides with firearms have increased 300 percent in Victoria. Is this all valid information?If so, I guess the old adage that says, When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns is proven.



Sorry about the non Y-Block post, but I don't know how else to contact any of our Aussie friends.
