Ep009 - Did Australia's gun control laws work?
from The Homeless Conservative · host Blake Fischer
Gun control advocates often site Australia's gun "ban" (which wasn't a ban - they didn't get rid of all guns, contrary to popular belief on the Left) as a model for the US to adopt to solve gun violence. But how effective has it been in Australia? And is the policy replicable in the US? My friend Derek and I discuss. A few numbers for you: The Australian government bought back 600,000 guns, which at the time was approximately 20-33% of the firearms in the country If the US had the same success rate, with the approximate 350,000,000 guns owned by citizens, there would still be more than 200,000,000 guns in the US. It's worth asking who from the government is going to have the resources to round up tens or hundreds of millions of guns
