Australia Bans Nazi Salute, Tightens Gun Laws After Mass Shooting

One week after a deadly attack, an Australian state has enacted the country's toughest gun controls and banned public displays of Nazi symbols. The new laws come from New South Wales, Australia's most populous state. A father and son killed 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration last week. It was the nation's deadliest mass shooting in nearly 30 years. The legislation introduces stricter rules for gun ownership. It also makes it a crime to perform the Nazi salute or publicly display other symbols linked to terrorist organizations. State leaders said the measures are a direct response to the attack. The goal is to prevent future violence and limit the spread of extremist ideologies.
