Australia same geographical size , Prime Minister Howard =1 put in gun control and since , the 1990' NONE , NOT ONE MASS SHOOTING Tell me it doesn't work . GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE
PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO GUNS ......... KILL PEOPLE. Due to the nation’s controversial and oppressive gun restrictions, no one has died as a result of a mass-shooting on Australian soil today, for the 7158th day in a row.
Fact check coming at ya:
Since 2009, Australia has had at least 6 spree killings.
1 Lin Family murders a man murdered a family of 5 in their home after having dinner with them.
2 Hunt family murders a man murdered his entire family with a shotgun in Lockhart, NSW, Australia. 5 killed
3 Hectorville hostage standoff mass shooting in Australia in 2011 in Hectorville, where a man took hostages and held police at bay for nearly eight hours. He shot 6 people, killing three and wounding three. Two of the wounded were police officers.
4 Quakers Hill murders a man killed 11 elderly residents of a nursing home by setting the home on fire as they slept, to hide the fact that he had been stealing drugs from the sick.
5 Cairns child killings Eight children stabbed to death by their mother
6 Sydney hostage incident: a man robbed a bank at gunpoint. 3 killed and 4 wounded.
Six years, six spree killers, 35 homicides.Australia, like many countries, doesn't list a death as being a homicide until someone is convicted of the killing. That skews the numbers, because the killers in the Hunt murders and the Sydney incident died before they could be tried. The Hectorville murderer was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Is it any wonder why Australia reports a homicide rate of 1.1?
The US homicide rate is 3.8 per 100,000.

Hey, followed the link and found the source for the UK tallying homicides that way. Do you have a source for Australia tallying homicides only in cases that are solved? Doing my best to find primary sources to back me up in my arguments.
