This is the worst in almost 30 years, since a 1996 attack in Port Arthur killed 35 people. Australian lawmakers responded swiftly to that shooting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2015\/8\/27\/9212725\/australia-buyback\">passing a broad \u2014 and effective \u2014 gun control law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1agbrixi lg8ac51 lg8ac50 xkp0cg1\">That law resulted in the mandatory buyback of some 650,000 guns, as well as a ban on some kinds of weapons, including automatic and semi-automatic rifles. Australia also established a national firearm registry and began requiring permits for firearm purchases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1agbrixi lg8ac51 lg8ac50 xkp0cg1\">The result was striking: While it didn\u2019t entirely end gun violence in Australia, the National Firearms Agreement \u201clikely saved a lot of lives,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2015\/8\/27\/9212725\/australia-buyback\">as my colleague Zack Beauchamp reported in 2022<\/a>.
