About John Oliver's shows on gun control in Australia

He highlighted that gun violence, suicides, and killings all dropped after the imposition of the ban.

Not that violence, suicides, and killings dropped.

No mention of those numbers at all, in fact.

But those would be the relevant numbers.

Why cheer a drop in gun violence, suicides, and killings if there were no drops in violence, suicides, and killings?

If that is the truth, why cheer a policy that did no good at all but annoyed the hell out of gun owners and gun rights folks?

Not to say it is the truth.

I have no idea, and would suspect there must have been some drop in violence.

Maybe the worry is that it won't look like enough.

Hence no mention.
