Ep 107 - Australia's Gun Horror: The Port Arthur Massacre
Description
Today, we take a look at Australia's gun laws, specifically the laws passed after the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996. Martin Bryant was a young man who had many, many issues and about a million dollars to his name when he went on a rampage, killing 35 people. Post this event, the Australian government upped their gun laws and did an extensive buy-back program.
We talk about the horrors of the event but also the extent to which the new laws changed Australia and their effect on mass shooting statistics.
You won't be surprised to know that the more guns, the more gun deaths.
