let s look at how bad canada s gun violence problem is, the country s rate of gun homicides per 100,000 is 0.5. that s less than a fifth of that in the us, at 4.12 but is still five times the level of australia, at 0.18 the canadian buyback plan is modelled on other efforts in the wake of national tragedies. the uk banned the private ownership of most handguns a year after the murder of 16 children in dunblane. it was the deadliest mass shooting in british history. australia banned nearly all semi automatic rifles after a gunman murdered 35 people at port arthur, in 1996. a buy back scheme was launched, and the government collected more than 600,000 weapons. and new zealand banned semi automatic weapons following the 2019 attacks on two mosques in christchurch that killed 51 people. their buy back programme removed 56,000 guns from circulation, but critics say that s only a third
tokyo and also south korea and he will also meet australia indian prime minister s. but this is really a security trip. this is a message to china that if you can believe that they are still in the game and we are still in the game and we will not let anything happen. but the reality is it is running away from the stories you just ran. there is a record high inflation rate coming our way. we have gasoline prices out of control. we have baby formula not being able to be found by parents. it is not an act of courage to jump to the other side of the world when your own country is obviously in trouble. the numbers are stark. gas up $0.18 just over last week and it wasn t just last week, you know, roberts, $3.04 one year ago and then come of course, the formula situation which is not good. hopefully, we will beginning better soon but not soon enough. in order to make this trip worth it what message does china need
the gas prices up 28 straight days and counting. two senate democrats up for reelection are calling for a national federal gas tax holiday. democrats is to be a problem for the midterms. i read from our presidio and ahren freeman this is a big issue. is the recognition that we have inflation going the way it is, gas prices being up. they are unable to move their agenda, so you have to grasp at straws and make the american people think you are doing something. gas tax is $0.18. if you suspended for a year, it could be doubled back up only
