3 Policies that your prime minister created
Gun Control- Gun control is any law, policy, practice or proposal designed to restrict or limit the possession, production, importation, shipment, sale, and/or use of firearms.
This was put into place because, on the 28th of April 1996, just three weeks after John Howard came into office, 35 people were murdered and 23 wounded in the Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania. The shooter, Martin Bryant , who used various firearms, was given 35 life sentences without the possibility of parole. Bryant had major intellectual disabilities. All the fire arms used in the massacre were purchased without a fire arms licence.
