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

@InstigatorRules @NBCNews This article suggests gun control is an effective policy against shootings https://t.co/k30IEpMe6S It seems to work despite mental health or social problems even against suicide.

@annshipley729 This study suggests gun control works https://t.co/k30IEpMe6S

@FoxNews If you can not control mental illness perhaps Australia´s approach is more effective https://t.co/k30IEpMe6S ?

@elecbarberella Have you seen this article perhaps https://t.co/k30IEpMe6S ?

¿Por qué los tiroteos ? Aunque reducción de tiroteos según https://t.co/k30IEpMe6S es evidente luego de que se estableció control de armas, queda pendiente preguntarse si otros cambios sociales pudieron ayudar

¿Por qué los tiroteos? Estudio en Australia indica que el control de armas capaces de matar muchas personas en un instante, funcionó contra tiroteos y otras muertes (incluso suicidios) https://t.co/k30IEpMe6S

@Kuzzza @sarahchad_ @Emma4Change Your reading comprehension sucks. That's not an insult, but an observation. https://t.co/DmD7aPnT33

@LilBrattyBun The thing is there IS hard evidence that gun control leads to an overall drop in suicide rates: https://t.co/19liRwL3sc

@ProjRedPillNow @grammaTam52 @MrsDanaD @bacholater @kylegriffin1 @benshapiro @GOP @NRA Literally nothing in your tweet is true. No mass shootings in over 20 years & an accelerated decline in murders, suicides & assaults by all methods. https://

@ajwiseman16 Or I could bring up Australia where they had 13 mass shootings from 1979-1996, and then they implemented their stricter gun control laws and have had NO MASS SHOOTING SINCE. https://t.co/TDBPBULWoz,

I have not been affected by a mass shooting but still sense the total outrage of our elected officials who do no... https://t.co/efLPs4IwXK

@Lucinda_Beaman @ConversationEDU This study suggests that the Australian 1996 law on gun control had: a direct small effect in the short term; a likely larger effect on attitudes to guns in the long term. https://t.co/7Q94L9pJ87 https://t.co/oEaTawP3kp

@aleeyahmarie @coltnwilliams25 Records of mass shooters in the last 20 years, I would bet very few of them have ever been hospitalized for mental health issues. So how to we quantify “mental health issues”? We need to be more concrete. https://t.co/HD0GS

@SakuraSyao @chavelin16 @riyasharma266 Look at Australia. They had similar problem as US, and they did gun buyback. Which led to sharp drop in homicides. Of course, the politicians basically committed political suicide, but they cared. https://t.co/wL5aeZR

By comparison, a study in 2006 published in "Injury Prevention" by Chapman, Alpers, Agho and Jones (https://t.co/gsDBTsvG00) revealed that since New gun legislation laws were put in place in 1996 Australia had seen a drop in gun-related deaths by homicide/
