On Fareed Zakaria GPS this week, global perspective on gun control. 17 years ago, Australia had its own Sandy Hook. A young man with an AR-15 assault rifle killed 35 men, women, and children. And Australians resolved to do something about it: they banned semi-automatic weapons, and launched a mandatory national buy-back program. The result? Not a single gun massacre in Australia since 1996 and general gun deaths down precipitously. Can America learn any lessons from Australia? Fareed speaks to the man who pushed through the ban Down Under: former Prime Minister John Howard. Also on the show this week, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers on how to create jobs in America.
