Gun violence as a health issue: strict gun control is necessary to minimise mass shootings - a podcast by Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

Since gun control laws were introduced following the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, where 35 people died, there has only been one gun homicide from which five or more people died. That was in May this year. Paediatric surgeon, Dr Michael Ee is a passionate supporter of tough gun control laws. As a health issue, Dr Ee explains RACS's position on gun violence and its recommendation to continue restrictions on the importation and ownership of semi-automatic and pump-action rifles and shotguns.
