Australia’s 1996 gun law reforms: faster falls in firearm deaths, firearm suicides, and a decade without mass shootings

@WhiteHouse https://t.co/Eoff1DzGbt

@WhiteHouse Australia found a way to disarm. We can too. "After a 1996 firearm massacre in Tasmania in which 35 people died, Australian governments united to remove semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns and rifles from civilian possession..." https:/

@NRA cause the 2nd amendment was needed in the 1800’s it’s not needed in 2024. Australia had mass shootings so we did something about it, we banned automatic assault weapons and shotguns. check out the results https://t.co/JYwE6LA7Dz

@cptnjamescook @vanbadham There's a pretty strong correlation in not having guns and not having mass shootings. Australia's gun amnesty makes the case even stronger, as the base culture remained the same. https://t.co/i5uuc0KPw9

@thereal_truther After a major mass shooting in Tasmania, Australia ended such tragedies by buying up firearms and putting strict regulations on their possession. https://t.co/eyKYYycvLZ

@AnnF0rall @ResistItAllTX @realchasegeiser 🤣🤣🤣 You’re funny. So uninformed. Why do other countries not have the mass shootings we do? Guns. Here is Australia, you can look up the UK on your own. Educate yourself. https://t.co/90CWrn9fgb

@in2this2enjoy @madsscribbles @SpaceXGodXodD @generalslug australia banned semi-autos, shotguns, and rifles after a mass shooting and had a buy back program with 700,000 guns surrendered causing a steep drop in gun violence. https://t.co/qEea9WTlQV

@PolishPrevailor @DBW619 https://t.co/v1HXq4UrWs I don't assert that exactly the same reforms are feasible in the US, but I dispute the assertion that *no* government-enacted reforms could lessen the problem significantly.

@ThinkingAtheist We can do what the Australians did: ban all semi-automatic and pump action weapons. It has made all the difference. https://t.co/F4H4NMOwBc

@RepThomasMassie Australia used to have a gun problem. After a mass-shooting in 1996, semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns and rifles were outlawed. Zero mass shootings in the decade after the reform, homicides also declined sharply. https://t.co/y
