and what about France, Germany, UK, etc?Aussie murder rate five times LOWER than the US
you argument is very childish
The Australian murder rate was 5 times lower before they banned guns....it didn't change after they banned guns...so your hypothesis...Less Guns = Less gun crime...is wrong....since nothing changed after they banned guns......
And public shootings still happen there.....it didn't stop that either....
Australia’s 1996 Gun Confiscation Didn’t Work | National Review
University of Melbourne researchers Wang-Sheng Lee and Sandy Suardi concluded their 2008 report on the matter with the statement, “There is little evidence to suggest that [the Australian mandatory gun-buyback program] had any significant effects on firearm homicides.”
“Although gun buybacks appear to be a logical and sensible policy that helps to placate the public’s fears,” the reported continued, “the evidence so far suggests that in the Australian context, the high expenditure incurred to fund the 1996 gun buyback has not translated into any tangible reductions in terms of firearm deaths.”
A 2007 report, “Gun Laws and Sudden Death: Did the Australian Firearms Legislation of 1996 Make a Difference?” by Jeanine Baker and Samara McPhedran similarly concluded that the buyback program did not have a significant long-term effect on the Australian homicide rate.
The Australian gun-homicide rate had already been quite low and had been steadily falling in the 15 years prior to the Port Arthur massacre. And while the mandatory buyback program did appear to reduce the rate of accidental firearm deaths, Baker and McPhedran found that “the gun buy-back and restrictive legislative changes had no influence on firearm homicide in Australia.”
....gun controlled LA, CHicago, NY City all have much lower murder rates than pro-''gun'' St Louis
SAME country SAME culture
hahahahhahahahha
You continue to lie......you have been shown over and over that St. Louis has been run by democrats who keep letting repeat gun offenders out of prison...and getting caught with an illegal gun doesn't come with consequences....
I also showed you that illegal guns flood Britian, France and German..........

Soros-Funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner Refuses to Charge Killer of 7-Year-Old Child Despite Suspect's Confession
Last week a suspect was arrested in the fatal shooting of 7-year-old Xavier Usanga in north St. Louis last Monday evening.
According to KSDK Usanga was shot and killed while playing outside of his Hyde Park home Monday, according to St. Louis Metro Police Cheif John Hayden. An 18-year-old man standing nearby was injured in the backyard of the Usangas’ home, in the 3500 block of North 14th Street, just after 5 p.m. Monday evening.
The suspect confessed to the shooting that killed 7-year-old Usanga.
But when they brought this confession and evidence to the St. Louis City’s circuit attorney’s office Kim Gardner threw it out.
Gardner said based on current evidence she was not able to determine who was responsible for the child’s death.
Again… The suspect confessed to the crime but that was not enough for this radical lunatic in the Circuit Attorney’s Office.
Democrats in charge since 1949

Rise in Murders Has St. Louis Debating Why
Jennifer M. Joyce, the city’s circuit attorney, or prosecutor, an elected position, complains that in St. Louis, the illegal possession of a gun is too often “a crime without a consequence,” making it difficult to stop confrontation from turning lethal.
At the same time, deeper social roots of violence such as addiction and unemployment continue unchecked. And city officials also cite what they call a “Ferguson effect,” an increase in crime last year as police officers were diverted to control protests after a white officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager in the nearby suburb on Aug. 9.

Now, an overstretched department is forced to pick one neighborhood at a time to flood with officers. Last month, Chief Dotson even asked the state highway patrol if it could lend a dozen men to help watch downtown streets; the agency declined.

When the police discover a gun in a car with several passengers, including some with felony records, but no one admits to owning the gun, criminal charges are often impossible, Mr. Rosenfeld said.
In addition, according to a 2014 study by Mr. Rosenfeld and his colleagues, a majority of those who are convicted of illegally possessing a gun but not caught using it in a crime receive probation rather than jail time. Gun laws and enforcement are stiffer in many other cities.
