Australia's Gun Buyback: A Necessary but Insufficient Step Forward The Australian government has announced that its gun buyback program will begin in November, marking a significant development in the country's response to recent mass shootings.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's government has moved swiftly to implement tighter gun laws, which have been hailed as a model for other nations.
The proposed buyback program is the largest since the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, when 35 people were killed by a gunman in Tasmania.
