Sydney Shootings

There have been an inordinate number of shootings in Sydney lately.
Not mass shootings but more like targeted assassinations.
Almost up to one a day, in public, in busy areas.
The latest was one of more than a dozen gangland murders since late 2020.
Got a lot of people thinking, given the strict gun laws in this country, how Sydney, a major Australian city, compares with those in the rest of the world.
Of course TV news projects these latest rounds of shootings as the city’s descent into lawlessness.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In reply a Sydney Morning Herald article produced the graph below.
