The Australian firearms buyback and its effect on gun deaths
The 1996‐1997 National Firearms Agreement (NFA) in Australia introduced strict gun laws,
primarily as a reaction to the mass shooting in Port Arthur, Tasmania, in 1996, where 35
people were killed. Despite the fact that several researchers using the same data have
examined the impact of the NFA on firearm deaths, a consensus does not appear to have
been reached. In this paper, we reanalyze the same data on firearm deaths used in previous
research, using tests for unknown structural breaks as a means to identifying impacts of the …

The 1996‐1997 National Firearms Agreement (NFA) in Australia introduced strict gun laws, primarily as a reaction to the mass shooting in Port Arthur, Tasmania, in 1996, where 35 people were killed. Despite the fact that several researchers using the same data have examined the impact of the NFA on firearm deaths, a consensus does not appear to have been reached. In this paper, we reanalyze the same data on firearm deaths used in previous research, using tests for unknown structural breaks as a means to identifying impacts of the NFA. The results of these tests suggest that the NFA did not have any large effects on reducing firearm homicide or suicide rates. (JEL C22, K19)
