Original Note:
CONTEXT REQUIRED Australia bought back (not confiscated) 650,000 privately owned guns in 1996-1997. The suicide and homicide rates immediately plummeted. Despite the 1996 National Firearms Agreement (NFA), Australians still have freedom to own guns. https://www.vox.com/2015/8/27/9212725/australia-buyback https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-can-australias-reaction-to-a-mass-shooting-teach-us-about-guns-and-gun-control/ https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/essays/1996-national-firearms-agreement.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_of_Australia
