I've heard that the key is to do exactly what they say. They just want temporary control over you, not your expiration.

She is never the source of anything in my life, avatar notwithstanding. Even that is not really from her anyway.

Myth: Gun control in Australia is curbing crime
Fact: Crime has been rising since a sweeping ban on private gun ownership. In the first two
years after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms, government statistics
show a dramatic increase in criminal activity.324 In 2001-2002, homicides were up another
20%.325
From the inception of firearm confiscation to March 27, 2000, the numbers are:
• Gun murders up 19%
• Armed robbery up 69%
• Home invasions up 21%
The sad part is that in the 15 years before national gun confiscation:
• Firearm-related homicides dropped nearly 66%
• Firearm-related deaths fell 50%
Fact: Gun crimes are rising throughout Australia after guns were banned. In Sydney alone,
robbery rates with guns rose 160% in 2001, more in the previous year.326



323 Associated News Media, April 30, 2001
324 Australian Bureau of Statistics, “Crime and Justice - Crimes Recorded by Police”, 2000
325 Australian Institute of Criminology, “Report #46: Homicide in Australia, 2001-2002", April 2003
