REAL CONVERSATIONS: I’m Pro-Gun (2nd Edition) | Change My Mind

By Aaron Spuler | February 28, 2018

Steven Crowder takes to the streets to have real conversations with everyday citizens and students on hot button issues. Today, we talk about the 2nd Amendment.

For anyone interested, here are some sources on the Australian gun reform and its effectiveness:

Researchers who have surveyed all of the studies on the topic have concluded that Australia’s firearm program “did not have any large effects on reducing firearm homicide or suicide rates.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1465-7287.2009.00165.x/abstract

Another study “does not find support for the hypothesis that Australia’s prohibition of certain types of firearms has prevented mass shootings, with New Zealand not experiencing a mass shooting since 1997 despite the availability in that country of firearms banned in Australia. “ https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2122854

Yet another study found “Homicide patterns (firearm and non-firearm) were not influenced by the NFA, the conclusion being that the gun buy-back and restrictive legislative changes had no influence on firearm homicide in Australia.” https://academic.oup.com/bjc/article-abstract/47/3/455/566026
