If you are going to site Australia's gun suicide rate dropping as a leading example of why you should limit guns shouldn't you do a bit more background research on that (i.e. is it really changing anything)?

Your @TheChart is hard as fuck to read, but it looks like Australia's death rate by suicide is as low as it's been since the early 1950's.

Excellent compilation.

This is why my default setting on guns is: people who want to keep things more or less as they are need to show me how to make gun ownership safe by developed-world standards.

Alternatively - treat guns like cars.

Switzerland does very nicely but I'm not sure how since most adults have an actual assault weapon and ammunition at home.

This article is total bullshit. Just look where most homicides occur and it'll be democrat controlled and have very strict gun laws. Try the book More Guns Less Crime. By this guy:

526 murder victims in Chicago alone so far this year. Hondo's silence is the normal response from the far left.

Look at all these liberal states!!

Yes, the Australian gun laws changed in the late 90s. Notice the drop since then until now? Give the chart a different scale. Dullard.

Two morons that can't read.

From the link...
In 2015, 3,027 people ended their own lives in Australia. That's 12.6 people in every 100,000.

Which puts it above the average of where its been for the last almost 100 years. So if you are "bright" enough to write an article that says getting rid of guns will save people from committing suicide and use Australia as the example, shouldn't you at least go spend 30 seconds Googling the actual Australia data to see if it helped before you claim this wonderful benefit?

Like I said, the Vox folks are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

And if you are "bright" enough to reply to a simple post pointing out this stupidity without reading/understanding a simple link and plot...well...that is how we coin terms like HondoFS...but in your defense at least you weren't alone?
