S3E15 / Gun Violence in America / The Big Australian Buyback / Andrew Leigh, Philip Alpers, Rebecca Peters, Roland Browne, Simon Chapman

Australia shares a similar history and culture to our own. But yet after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Australians came to see the need for gun regulation very differently. Australia’s newly elected conservative prime minister at the time passed sweeping gun reform. How did that real-world experiment play out? What happens when you reduce the number of guns in a country nationwide?
