Here’s a video from the Bloomberg folk that talks about Australian gun control.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWZcOWAIcPw
They talk about how the reaction to Port Arthur massacre radically changed gun laws in Australia.
At about the 1:20 mark in the video they say the Port Arthur massacre was carried out with two firearms, “an AR-15 and a .308 FN”. They show pictures of the two rifles and state “both guns were semi-automatic, rapid fire weapons.” They have animated arrows pointing to the rifles as the narration talks about them. The problem is, without looking at all closely, you can see the “.308 FN” is a scoped, bolt action rifle.
Does this negate the “facts” and figures presented in the video?
I think this error DOES call into question how much care went into making the video.
Other folk have very nicely countered the “facts” and figures thrown out in the video and I am very grateful we have folks around that will do that work.
