Back in April, I wrote of the new study that showed Australia's incredibly strict gun bans and other laws had done nothing to impact crime.
Interestingly, Time magazine has picked up the story, thereby spreading this news to a far wider audience globally.
Says the magazine:"The authors are not recommending that the gun law be repealed, though they do write of their hope that their findings might give policymakers "greater confidence" in approaching firearms policy in the future. "We've set out to scientifically investigate what was happening [with gun deaths] before and after 1996," she says. "We are simply presenting the evidence as it stands."
If something doesn't work then it should be repealed, don't you think?
