I've posted our longer term stats before, but despite a one-year drop in
certain gun related crimes after the Port Arthur false flag (abhorrent
crime in the extreme just to get legislation on the books), crime ended
up rising again, and ultimately gun ownership and crime rates both now
exceed what they were pre-Port Arthur massacre.

So, Australia's not an example of "effective gun control legislation".
