Cenk Uygur talks to Rolling Stone’s Michael Hastings and Rebecca Peters, former director of the International Action Network on Small Arms, about Australia’s drastic change in gun control after a 1996 mass shooting killed 35 people in one day. “By that time, the public demand, the public outrage and disgust at our political leaders was so enormous that that was the moment that finally was the tipping point,” Peters says. “Our prime minister called together the states and basically coordinated them to change their laws.”
