I saw an interesting article today talking about how mass murders are up since the 1960s. It includes these two paragraphs:

"Australia had a spate of mass public shooting in the 1980s and '90s, culminating in 1996, when Martin Bryant opened fire at the Port Arthur Historical Site in Tasmania with an AR-15 assault rifle, killing 35 people.

"Within two weeks the government had enacted strict gun control laws that included a ban on semiautomatic rifles. There has not been a mass shooting in Australia since."

Here's a link to the article: apnews.excite.com
