Political Factoid
35 people were killed in a mass
shooting in Australia in 1996,
after which the Australian
government bought back
600,000 semi-automatic rifles
and shotguns and prohibited
private sales of guns.
"From 1995 to 2006,
homicides by firearms in
Australia plunged 59 percent
-- and they haven't had a
mass shooting since."
