Mike, I really doubt it.  I have been following the Aussie situation and
read the ABS stats.  I also read what the anti-gun crowd had to say. 
They want the law to stay for a few more years, regardless of the
results.  After a short while the public will accept the status quo and
no longer complain.  The good thing is the failure in Australia/New
Zealand and what seems to be the same failure in England will teach us
here in USA.  We shouldn't make the same mistakes.
