Trump assassination attempt: are Australia’s gun reform laws an answer for the US? ABC Radio National

    Press/Media: Expert Comment

    Description

    The assassination attempt on Donald Trump could place gun control squarely on the agenda in the US presidential campaign.

    Australia has its own history with gun violence, but our gun culture has shifted hugely in recent decades, and the number of gun licences has almost halved since 1997.

    Could Australian-style gun reform help in the US?

    Guest: Dr Vince Hurley, criminologist, Macquarie University; former NSW Police detective
