When you look at the size of Sydney and Melbourne, which is not in New south wales but Victoria which is another state, and compare that to one of your 50 or so states, it is looking pretty bad. The last time we had things like a drive by shooting was a very long time ago, and that was because some adult drug ring tried to blow away another. I was not stereo typing anything, simply commenting on what the US new wires tell us. In the past years murders have been up, simply cause of police crackdown on illegal drugs and the like, we force them out and they try to set up shop in other areas so they kill whoever is in charge of the area to try and take over. We have sicko dads who take their kids and kills them because the wife want a divorce. But one is more likely to die in the US from a bullet, rather than in Australia. How many murders are caused by shootings in the US to how many in Australia. Some food for thought
