Rates Down Under increase despite strict gun-control measures.

Having read that article and the “Crime Up Down Under” related article (links at bottom) on the same site … all I have to say is
“Sir, I believe your methodology is suspect”.
Not only do they link gun control laws to stuff like car theft, they also say in the same breath that
“overall crime victimization Down Under rose from 27.8 percent of the population in 1988, to 28.6 percent in 1991 to over 30 percent in 1999.”
and
“In the 25 years before the [1996] gun bans, crime in Australia had been dropping steadily.”
O RLY?
Finally, correlation is not causality and it’s hard to believe all those things are linked in the simplistic way the articles advocate. You could equally link the increase in violent crimes to a decrease in rainfall. (For a more striking example google for the famous Global Warning vs Number of Pirates chart).
I hate noticing a typo just after hitting submit – should be ‘Global Warming’. Obviously.
