Vice President Harris Advocates for Stricter Gun Control Measures: Cites Australian Model

In a recent speech, Vice President Kamala Harris commended Australia’s strict gun control laws, where citizens don’t have a legal right to gun ownership and a mass gun confiscation occurred in the 1990s. Speaking at a State Department luncheon with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Harris emphasized that mass shootings don’t have to be a common occurrence, even in a country as large as the United States. Australia’s approach to firearm ownership stands in stark contrast to the U.S. According to the Australian Parliament’s official website, there is no legal entitlement to gun ownership, and individuals must demonstrate a genuine reason for possessing a firearm. Notably, self-defense is not considered a valid reason under Australian law. <a href="https://medium.com/@choleladner/vice-president-harris-advocates-for-stricter-gun-control-measures-cites-australian-model-24457d9698cf">Website</a>
