Did you know Australia still had another mass shooting years later and still has shootings to this day? Do you know that civilians still have as many firearms now than they did after the forced "buy back"?
I would love for something to corroborate this. If it's true, then I'll stand corrected, and happily.

The first article I read.
But these changes have done nothing to reduce gun-related deaths, according to Samara McPhedran, a University of Sydney academic and coauthor of a soon-to-be-published paper that reviews a selection of previous studies on the effects of the 1996 legislation. The conclusions of these studies were "all over the place," says McPhedran. But by pulling back and looking purely at the statistics, the answer "is there in black and white," she says. "The hypothesis that the removal of a large number of firearms owned by civilians [would lead to fewer gun-related deaths] is not borne out by the evidence."
