"The latest US figures available show suicide deaths by gun in 2010 were 19,392 compared to gun homicides of 11,078. In Australia the suicide rate by gun has dropped either marginally or not at all since Little Johnny took all our guns away but he fails to mention other means of suicide now used, including mainly hanging, and bungee jumping without rubber bands, have increased markedly. Other weapons such as knives have been increasingly replacing guns in homicide crimes.
Predictably, gun homicides in Northern Melbourne and Western Sydney, where the Middle Eastern gangs are intent on killing each other, have not decreased as those who intend to carry out these gun crimes are the only people who have the ability to obtain guns illegally."
