Australia Begins Gun Buyback Scheme in Response to Bondi Shooting The Australian government has announced a gun buyback scheme in response to the Bondi shooting that claimed 15 lives last year.
The initiative aims to remove unwanted firearms from circulation, but its effectiveness will be gauged not only by the number of guns surrendered, but also by the deeper cultural shift it seeks to induce.
Australia's strict gun control laws have made it one of the safest countries in the world when it comes to firearms.
