Snopes has that one listed. I’ve seen the Australian government’s reported figures and they don’t square with what you posted. My guess is, this is bait from progressives to bring light to the real numbers provided by the Australian government and made to embarrass conservatives.
All Freepers need to be made aware of the new favorite tactic by the progressive left. They post fake information to a blog that anyone who does not share their views would support. They then let comments accumulate until they have what they want, then take all those comments and use them as an example of how stupid the believers are. I’m sure there is a clever name for this tactic, probably something similar to “phishing”.
The tactic has been picking up steam and is going to be used a lot in the gun debate. They will be trying to compare the US to other countries using spurious data sets to support their gun ban agenda.
Yeah! Thanks for finding that out. I’m pretty hopeless with doing searches. The 300% figure made me pause,,,,,,That’s why I included the “Don’t know if the stats are right, but,,,,” in my posting. Again, thanks!
