http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/homicide.html It has been on a declining trend with no statistically significant fluctuations (note only 300 total homicides). Note also that a constant homicide rate is actually about -5% year on year in per capita due to pop growth. Australia never had gun culture or ghetto culture so the homicide rate was always really low. Regardless it's all a strawman. Most of the calls for gun control stem from preventing massacres not low number homicide. In that regard the Australian gun control worked perfectly - we have had zero since Port Arthur.

1. no we have proper gun control. every gun must be registered and have a purpose, i.e. you must belong to a shooting club or own a license. 2. therefore not 100% of guns have been taken. and a 30x drop is the opposite of not working, if you aren't stupid 3. adam lanza was not a criminal he was mentally ill
