vf1000ride Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yep, that bill is harsh. Any full auto's must be permanently disabled and any Semi-auto firearm that can hold 10 rounds or more because an assault weapon and is therefor illegal. I thing the state of Ohio needs a serious cleaning house in government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I hear a lot of stats about Canada, UK and Australia. But when I look it up, it's seldom true. Looked the UK up recently, and their murder rate was about the same as ours (per capita), at the time of their firearms ban. It then went up for a decade or so, as high as a 70% increase for a while. Now back where it was. Knife attacks and common crime is out of control in places like London. So no, UK is the same or worse regardless of restrictive laws. And no idea why murders jumped higher for a while. Australia confiscated, but admitted only a fraction of the known weapons were turned in (nor the unknown weapons). You could see in photos, a lot of it was pure junk. Have also heard new firearms sales tripled the amount that was taken away. And yes, their crime stats jumped for a while also. Odd, because some cities can have success, but an entire country is difficult. But not all of them, as in Chicago. Never even bothered looking up much about Canada, it's just not the same. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick google search at breakfast gave me this...http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Violent-crime/Murder-rate-per-million-people.A little old but the U.S is close to three times the nearest of the others mentioned.

Steve Butters Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Without clicking your links... Of course "gun death" is higher, we have more guns... Murder should be the relative statistic, not the tool used to commit it... Is it more acceptable to be knifed? That's silly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the link I was looking for... I just saw the gun violence one when I opened this and got distracted lol ... How do these numbers compare before and after gun bans for AU for example? Overall murder is definitely much lower, but there could be plenty of cultural factors at play in that regard.. I'd be interested to see how banning guns impacted these numbers more than a straight compare... Not interested enough to go look for it though lol Edited February 23, 2018 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK data I looked at was 5 years newer. Both countries had serious declines in totals during that time frame. Noticed that UK appears to be 4 times lower than the US. Also noticed that difference is .03 of one percent per capita. Statistics will do whatever you want them to do. Some include suicides. Or firearms only. Or include shootings by law enforcement in the line of duty. Or do so for one and not the other. Those details are hidden. The noticeable trend, is to push an agenda with modified statistics, that is about 8 times worse than it really is. So back to where I started, not believing most statistics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 they lost 90 people to one highly specific method, The point is the pushes for new laws will never stop. They do have a 12th of our population spread over the same area. The latest homicide in Australia report by the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) shows 13 per cent of people murdered in 2008/09 and 2009/10 were killed by firearms, down from 25 per cent in the late 1980s. But knife murders have risen from 30 to 41 per cent over the last decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each country defines differently. Wondering if murders are mostly a major urban thing, but that's where the people are anyway. Maybe murder is a density of population thing.

"As members of Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC), we call on MEC to immediately stop the sale of all Vista Outdoor brands. This Utah-based corporation is the owner of Savage Arms, one of the leading producers of semi-automatic weapons in the United States.

RymerC Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Australia LOL. Good luck getting in, my sister went through that and had to have 6? months of living expenses in the bank, had to get a bunch of shots, and the wait was significant. Maybe they're full of Americans? Their healthcare has its ups and downs. Some simple things have a 6 month wait where we can go to a clinic at Kroger here and be done in a few minutes. My Australian bro had to put off a long trip to Indochina because their healthcare system wouldn't do some weird surgery on a pinched artery or ? until it became super critical, which happened a few months later. Banning of guns, LOL good luck with that. You'll still be able to get guns here long after motorcycles are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
