Australia's Bold Move to Reduce Gun Violence

Australia is taking a significant step to reduce gun violence. The government plans to buy back many guns from people. This comes after a recent shooting at a festival in Sydney. The attack killed 15 people and was linked to terrorism.

Government Announces Buyback Plan

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, announced this plan. He also said there will be a national day of reflection. On this day, people will remember the victims of the attack.

Stricter Gun Laws Proposed

The two attackers had many guns. One of them even had a license for them. The government thinks this is too much. They want to make new rules about how many guns someone can have.

Historical Precedent

Australia did something similar in the past. After a bad shooting in 1996, they bought back many guns. This time, they hope to do the same. The goal is to make the country safer.

Public Opinion

Some people might wonder if this will work. Others might think it's a good idea. Whatever the opinion, it's clear that Australia is trying to make a change.
