"Regular" being maybe 10 per year, as a guess. As an Australian, I certainly wouldn't want to swap for the shitshow that is US gun crime.

- refurb 4y agoIf by 10 per year, do you mean 13 murders (not just shootings) in just Sydney in the last two years? The US is obviously worse, but to claim Australia has control of gun violence is kind of silly. It's clearly out of police control. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/may/04/gangland-violence-has-killed-11-in-sydneys-south-west-in-just-two-years-nsw-police-say https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/may/04/gangl...
- brokenmachine 4y agoI meant 10 shootings but like I say, it was just a guess. From your link, 11 gang murders in two years seems pretty good to me. Personally I'd consider that pretty under control. I certainly don't live in fear of gun crime here.
