Australians suffered through a government-mandated gun confiscation in 1996 after the Port Arthur shooting. That nation’s leaders pounded their lecterns saying the forced confiscations were necessary to prevent gun homicides including mass murders. In the years since, supporters of gun confiscation call it “incredibly successful in terms of lives saved.”
