Good numbers, facts instead of emotion. Too bad there is a large segment of the population who facts do not reach, because they depend on the MSM.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of these “Peace Movement Aotearoa” people, and I am from Aotearoa (New Zealand).
I shall check into them, see how real they are...

There is no difference in the use of a firearm in robbery: Guns were used in 6.4% of all robberies in both 2001 and 2007. Surprise! The criminals aren't following the rules. Who would have guessed?

John Howard engineered the gun ban.
John Howard deserves all the credit for the increase in violent crime.

Banning guns increases crime...more or less the same as disarming merchant shipping increases Somali pirate raids.

Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women I read a statistic once, that one in three American women would be raped in their lifetime. If both these statistics are correct, it means 100% of Australian women will be raped in their lifetime. (Or maybe, that the number of rapes in an average lifetime will be the same as the number of women alive - some escaping that fate, but others being raped more than once.)

Anyone who uses this article as a factual source is being duped. A quick look at the real statistics shows that violent crime in Australia has declined since the gun buy back and death by firearm has decline 47%
