I somehow think they'll be failing to mention what a wondrous success strict gun control has been in cutting he murder rate in places like Mexico.
In a review of multiple reports citing at least three dozen examples of copied passages and unattributed material, Politico also found hard evidence that Zakaria plagiarized.
Globalists. Meh.
Is there a link to this broadcast?
Are guns actually banned Mexico? As I understand they’re not but there’s only 1 place they can buy and it’s controlled by the govt.I somehow think they'll be failing to mention what a wondrous success strict gun control has been in cutting he murder rate in places like Mexico.
From the Hong Kong protests this summer.
That's absolutely wonderful to see. Hopefully that man does not end up in mainland China facing trial.

At least he looks to have a nice hoe on his shoulder.
I found the podcast, which seems likely to be the audio of the TV broadcast:

Title: Global Lessons on Guns
Description:
Defining the problem, Zakaria reports
Perhaps even more alarming, in 2012, among active military personnel, more service personnel died by suicide, than were killed in hostile action.
Japan, a nation with a population of 130 million, spent more money on video games than any other nation in 2012 – except the U.S. Yet, despite the concerns of some in the U.S. of an association between video games and gun violence, in 2012, there were four gun deaths in Japan.
The love that the people of Switzerland have for firearms rivals that of Americans. Switzerland ranks third in the world for per capita gun ownership, according to one estimate – behind only Yemen and the U.S. – and Switzerland is also home to the largest marksmanship competition in the world. Yet, Switzerland’s homicide rate is six times lower than that of the U.S. Swiss regulations on firearms are much stricter than in the U.S.
For Australia, former Prime Minister Howard speaks about his nation’s gun policy reform efforts in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre. Like the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Port Arthur massacre ended the lives of children. Howard feels political leadership is essential to curbing gun violence. Leveraging his political capital, Howard describes the political strategy – and consequences – of spearheading a package of reforms including background checks, restrictions on gun ownership, and gun buyback programs.
Again the science has clearly shows the military suicide is not because of service -- but because of preexisting conditions.The most moving segment of the special focuses on the U.S. Army’s efforts to reduce gun suicides. On average, every day in America, 100 people die by suicide. Half of these cases involve firearms – and, among active duty military personnel, between 2008 and 2010, nearly two thirds of suicide deaths involved firearms.
