The journalist on NPR made a false statement...that there have been no mass shootings in Australia since the gun ban...obviously he just listened to whatever anti gun extremist activist he had on his show....since that isn't true....
NPR Contributor Attempts to Cover Up Australian Mass Shootings - Bearing Arms - Anti-Gun Laws, Australia, buyback, media bias, NPR
While attempting to support the Obama Administration’s new push to force mandatory gun buybacks, Tania Lombrozo made the following claim about Australia’s gun laws.
Last year, President Obama suggested the U.S. follow Australia’s example by adopting a strict gun ban on semi-automatic and automatic weapons. Australia hasn’t had a mass shooting since it enacted the legislation in 1996.
This is not true.
At Monash, seven people were shot (two fatally) by a murderous student who was armed with multiple handguns. All six handguns were acquired legally. The attacker was later determined to be mentally ill. The Hectorville siege that saw seven people shot (three fatally) was conducted with a shotgun that was legal under Australian law. The attacker in this incident was also found to be mentally ill. The Hunt family murderswere likewise carried out with a legally-owned shotgun. The murderer in this instance was thought to be highly stressed due to his wife’s head injury.
