I’ll bet that the rise in crimes with guns is in direct correlation with the number of immigrants.

Why does having ice make things dangerous for Oz cops? Criminals want their ice? They kill for ice?
That’s cold man.

Just two years ago, 9,000 guns were confiscated in New South Wales from organized crime, outlaw biker gangs, and midlevel criminals. And, the same thing happens across all of Australia. This push is to fight “out of control” gun violence prevalent there. This has happened since the ban. Criminals are smuggling guns in from overseas by the boatload to arm criminals. The can still find guns easily.

"Fears for police safety after data shows Melbourne gun crime on the rise"

Do criminals in Melbourne attack only cops? Or is the safety of non-cops unimportant?

Hmn. But Melbourne is a very diverse city and has plenty of illegal immigrants of many cultures.

Data shows police find an illegal firearm in Victoria every 48 hours.

Mr Iddles said Melbourne's northwest suburbs were a particular hotspot, with a 300 percent rise in firearm discoveries and offences in the past five years.

I'd be willing to bet that these "illegal firearm discoveries" are taking place amongst the honest citizens, and not the criminal class. This is an ongoing process to disarm the people, so as to make them easier marks for their criminal and political overloards.
