In just the first year after the gun ban 96-97:

http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2000/6/7/00224 

"And now the results are in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2
percent (in a country that has a low homicide rate).
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent).
In the state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300 percent."

Then check out the score in 97-99

And for the latest on the UK adventure:

Then come back and apologize to the nice man. You, like all anti gun
loons love to challenge then take off when you are caught at your
nonsense. Apparently you are as afraid of factual data as you are of
guns.

Hop right back up there, then come back and take your medicine like a
man.

Oh?

Really?

Unlike you, dainty bit, we do our research. 

I love when the creeps creep out of the wood work sure they can take
down those gun nuts, only to discover we have been doing this for
years and years, have archives that would choke a mainframe, and can
pop out just about anything we need in supporting data in under 5
minutes.

So tell us, twinkletoes. On your brilliant "irrefutable fact." Would
it be cricket to ask, "goose," "gander?"

Pony up fool. (and you sitting right there in the middle of it
all..tsk.)
