From your own Snopes article:

 

"For Australia, a difficulty with determining the effect of the law was that gun deaths were falling in the early 1990s. No study has explained why gun deaths were falling, or why they might be expected to continue to fall. Yet most studies generally assumed that they would have continued to drop without the NFA. Many studies still found strong evidence for a beneficial effect of the law."

 

I love the dissonance in the last two sentences. "Rates were going down but the Law made them go down!"   

 

So, as has been said, the Aussies passed a law to deal with a problem that they didn't really have but claim that the law solved the problem even though the stats show no significant difference. Good work all!
