As usual the anti-gun folks exploit the episode to promote gun control.  They say the gun deaths are down after the gun ban in Australia apparently blissfully unaware that the total murder rate is not down, only the gun death rate is down.  Apparently, Australians are fully capable of finding alternative methods to kill their fellows.  Yeah, so in the USA ban all guns and gun murders may go down but if we are as resourceful as the Australians, our total murder rate will not go down.
