Special Sacramento Media Edge 
Presentation Nov. 29
 
"Preventing Gun Violence: �
An International Perspective" 

The Media Edge episode Nov. 29 showcases a Sacramento presentation  by Rebecca Peters, the founding director of the International Action Network on Small Arms.
IANSA Founding Director Rebecca Peters

On October 25, 2015, the Joint Annual Dinner of the Sacramento Chapters of Physicians for Social Responsibility and the United Nations Association featured Peters as their keynote speaker.
 
During her keynote address, Ms.Peters described how she and her Australian colleagues were able to get the nationwide ban on assault  weapons passed.

She noted that following the ban, over a million firearms were removed from circulation, overall rates of firearm related deaths and injuries, already much lower than in the United States, declined even further, and there hasn't been a single additional mass shooting. Ms. Peters challenged Americans to take similar action to stop the epidemic of gun violence in our country.
