      @GidMK @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi @ConversationEDU Both straight from the Assie government, proving their gun ban didn't work.

      @Gunsandcoffee12 @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi I thought that sexual assault wasn't related to guns? B/c the US is much worse.

      @GidMK @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi We're discussing how the Aussie gun control failed. A spike in SA after banning guns... hmm...

      @GidMK @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi Both of them showed a spike in sexual assaults in 1998. The ban was in 1996.

      @Gunsandcoffee12 @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi Kidnapping, homicide and robbery fell, but sexual assault went up. Cherry-picking...

      @little_bigwood @Gunsandcoffee12 @EchoesErrant @doritmi Because other people who own guns can still shoot me and my family.

          @little_bigwood @Gunsandcoffee12 @EchoesErrant @doritmi Evidence shows that they would, I imagine many reasons would apply.

          @GidMK @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi You have a 0.000027% chance to get shot, unless you attack an armed civilian (up to 0.000037%)

          @Gunsandcoffee12 @little_bigwood @EchoesErrant @doritmi In the US you have a 1.3% chance of dying to a gun. Pretty big.
