Australia vs USA: Gun control and effective politicians..

In the face of congress' failure to enact even the most tepid forms of gun control, John Oliver (of the Daily Show) went to Australia to interview politicians who passed effective laws in 1996 that have resulted in an apparent end to mass homicides, and a substantial reduction in homicides and youth suicides. Oliver, in essence, asks "Why can't this happen in the US?" You can draw your own conclusions from the videos, here.
