Gun control in Australia -- Chapter 2. The gun control debate.Over two decades ago, federal, state and territory governments united in the wake of the devastating Port Arthur massacre to reform firearm laws in a concerted bid to reduce gun violence in Australia. The recently updated National Firearms Agreement and ongoing firearms amnesties have consolidated this national approach to gun control. However, Australia’s arsenal of private guns is now larger than it was before the Port Arthur massacre, and there have been a number of politically-driven campaigns to reduce restrictions in state and territory gun control legislation. There are more imported firearms coming into Australian than ever before; at least 260,000 guns are estimated to be currently held illegally in Australia. Crime, terrorism, homicide, suicide – how much do guns actually figure in this deadly mix? Are we at risk of adopting a pervasive and deadly gun culture like that of the US? Are we going backwards on gun control, or are our laws too restrictive? This book explores the debate, featuring opinions on firearms restrictions from gun control advocates and the gun lobby. How should the ownership and use of firearms be regulated in Australia?Issues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;Volume 428.Gun controlAustraliaFirearmsLaw and legislationAustraliaElectronic books.Gun controlFirearmsLaw and legislation363.3309941Healey JustinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466512203321Gun control2056286UNINA04314nam 2201093Ia 450 99624802410331620240410063615.01-59734-818-X97866127627651-282-76276-10-520-93664-710.1525/9780520936645(CKB)1000000000006222(EBL)223588(OCoLC)475928506(SSID)ssj0000084683(PQKBManifestationID)11123704(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000084683(PQKBWorkID)10170330(PQKB)10202636(MiAaPQ)EBC223588(DE-B1597)519632(OCoLC)1099625120(DE-B1597)9780520936645(Au-PeEL)EBL223588(CaPaEBR)ebr10062327(CaONFJC)MIL276276(dli)HEB02668(MiU)MIU01000000000000005053743(EXLCZ)99100000000000622220020806d2003 ub 0engurun#---|u||utxtccrPolitics of the womb women, reproduction, and the state in Kenya /Lynn M.

Postcolonial Nationalism And "Modern" Single Mothers --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexIn more than a metaphorical sense, the womb has proven to be an important site of political struggle in and about Africa. By examining the political significance-and complex ramifications-of reproductive controversies in twentieth-century Kenya, this book explores why and how control of female initiation, abortion, childbirth, and premarital pregnancy have been crucial to the exercise of colonial and postcolonial power. This innovative book enriches the study of gender, reproduction, sexuality, and African history by revealing how reproductive controversies challenged long-standing social hierarchies and contributed to the construction of new ones that continue to influence the fraught politics of abortion, birth control, female genital cutting, and HIV/AIDS in Africa.ACLS Fellows’ publications.WomenKenyaHistoryFemale genital mutilationKenyaHistoryWomenKenyaSocial conditionsSex roleKenyaKenyaSocial conditions20th century.abortion.africa.african history.anthropology sociology.anthropology.birth control.childbirth.colonialism.female initiation.gender studies.genital mutilation.hiv aids.kenya.kenyan politics.nonfiction.political perspective.political power.political struggles.postcolonial power.premarital pregnancy.reproduction.reproductive controversies.reproductive rights.reproductive studies.sexuality.social hierarchies.women.womens rights.WomenHistory.Female genital mutilationHistory.WomenSocial conditions.Sex role305.4/096762Thomas Lynn M1008239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248024103316Politics of the womb2325117UNISA
