Nope, as I said a friend told me this. I then goggled "did crime go up in Australia after gun ban" or something to that effect. The very first hit, or the first answer on the top of the page was snopes. I opened that link and read it there.

Edit: I went and looked again, I think I didn't read far enough Grin

Apparently it is mixed, in fact and fiction, then goes on to explain all sorts of numbers, etc, that I just said, fooey too, I will just report, you decide Kiss

Well I must admit, I did get this dumb a$$ email quite a while ago and snope checked it and was confused about the outcome and was unable to use it in a reply.

I see now that was snopes purpose all along. They went into a long discussion about how stats are misleading and this and that... leading to a mixed outcome.

But never did respond to the question, 'did crime go up in Aus. after gun ban'

You may not have a gun but a criminal still does what a criminal does.

What in the heil does this have to do with it.....

Bo is in his own world, where he controls his own reality Shocked

Obama insisted Thursday that his push for gun control is necessary.

"In the same way that we don’t eliminate all the traffic accidents but, over the course of 20 years traffic accidents get lower ... over time, [gun] violence gets reduced, and so families are spared," he said.

I guess he didn't read Snopes and how you can't prove such statements by comparing apples and oranges, mercy.

It said Snopes doesn't know Everything about Everything and that it Could possibly be sometimes less than perfectly honest. Which was a bit shocking. Now, when Eric Holder investigated Eric Holder, and discovered he was pure as the driven snow, I wasn't shocked at all.
