Shoot, I can give you a ton of information proving the failure of the Australian Gun Confiscation.

It is definitely commendable that they haven't had a mass shooting since but the rest of their crime has done nothing but sky rocket. I.E. women in Australia are 3 times more likely to be raped and a 46% increase in armed robbery...
