I tried finding the source for those stats and couldn't, though I didn't watch till the end of the segment. Did you see a citation?

I did not watch the entire video. I've been celebrating St. Paddy's Day early, so I haven't had the mental faculties or the attention span to find collaborating evidence to back up the claims in the video's notation.

I found this: http://thefederalist.com/2015/09/03/the-australian-gun-ban-conceit/

Gun-related violence did spike immediately after the ban, but settled back afterwards and went into a downward trend. However, that downward trend was already occurring before the ban, and was happening at a time when Australia was increasing the number of firearms it produced. It also seemed to mirror a downward trend in the US, which of course didn't ban its firearms.
