So true.

When I was in Australia, I was amazed at how many people were beaten to death with cricket bats, golf clubs and chairs — Australia has pretty strict gun control, so it’s less common to hear about people getting shot. But the violence does not seem to be diminished.

I’d bet a good portion of Australia’s violence like here may just be alcohol related??

There are dozens of varied statistics published each and every year regarding gun violence. Holdups, home invasions, drive by shootings, drunken rages, betrayed spouses, gang retaliation and so on.
Each year I note there is a SINGLE statistic never, ever mentioned.
How many crimes and/or murders were committed by trained, legal, licensed law abiding GUN OWNERS?
