Deseret News reports
The National Rifle Association recently linked
violent movies to gun deaths. Therefore, I feel perfectly confident in
assuming that the reason gun deaths have declined so dramatically in
Australia since 1996 is that the country must have banned violent
movies. In fact, I suspect that all you can see is Disney stuff,
musicals and documentaries on crocodiles.
However, Aussies watch the
same movies as Americans. The real reason gun-related deaths have fallen
dramatically in Australia since 1996 is that it banned assault rifles,
implemented other gun controls and undertook a gun buyback.
The gun homicide rate in Australia is about one-thirtieth of that in the United States.
