15 times more likely to be shot in America than Australia

[kazaam]

Is this true? Was reading a quote about those three scumbags who shot that Australian kid and someone from Australia said this. Just wondering if it's true or not since I take everything I read in the news with a grain of salt.

How many Rap star wannabes does Australia have ? Factor in that and the ratio is excellent

I dunno, but I bet you're much less likely to be kicked to death by a kangaroo in the US.

Bad actors are more likely to get shot here too.

Even if you are more likely to get shot here than Australia, that's why we carry guns.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

A real quick non-verified look at statistics indicates two relevant things.

1) You are much more likely to be shot in the US, even factoring in population differences.
2) You are much more likely to be victim of SOME violent crime in Australia. Rape, battery, etc are all higher than the US. Surprisingly, suicides are also higher for most age groups.

If you are really interested I'd suggest you put some time in and do the research with verified sources, etc. For those of us just vaguely interested, this will probably be enough.

Kangaroos are responsible for 93% of all gun crime in Australia.

Its true. Roving bands of kangaroo gangs demanding all the shrimp you just put on the barbie, its an epidemic.

Think your handgun is going to save you?

For the sake of argument, let's assume the numbers are accurate and try an experiment. Let's ship all the people who commit these crimes to Australia, with all the restrictive gun laws they have, and see what happens to their crime rate involving guns. At the same time, lets end the stupid policies that promote thuggy behavior here, and see what happens to our rate.

It's everything else in Australia that's deadly.

Data point: I have been to Australia on two occasions. Neither time was I seriously wounded or killed in an armed kangaroo attack.

Well, the only logical explanation is that you are a kangaroo yourself.

That's the problem with the Internet. Freakin' kangaroos infiltrating our gun forums, learning our tactics...

I hadn't considered that. Wait, my max vertical leap is about an inch on a good day, er, mate.

Just what I'd expect an infiltrating kangaroo to say. Well, that, and "look at this cool new CZ and how well it fits in my pouch!".
