Gun Control

Straight-pull rapid-fire rifles, social media campaigns, and a looming buyback scheme – Australia's gun debate is reloading.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns is supporting calls for a royal commission to be held into the Bondi Beach terror attack, which claimed the lives of 15 innocent people.

With Australia's strict gun laws, how was Sajid Akram able to legally own the gun he was using to slaughter innocent people in Bondi on December 14? 

In the wake of the Bondi terror attack and upcoming government firearms restrictions, some people are asking why anyone would need to own 100 guns.

Days after the Bondi terror attack, the federal government has announced a new national buyback scheme. 

A licensed firearms holder has been charged with 47 offences after two NT police raids allegedly uncovered illegal explosives, unlawful weapons and illicit drugs.

The Northern Territory Firearms Council is against limiting the number of weapons a person can own, as New South Wales parliament is set to discuss gun reforms in the wake of the Bondi terror attack.

Firearm restrictions proposed by the New South Wales government in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack would go far to reduce the growing number of guns across the state and prevent further harm, a gun control researcher says.

Premier Chris Minns said among the reforms to be discussed were proposed limits on the number of firearms a licensed shooter could own.

As Australia looks to strengthen its firearms laws in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, recent changes to Western Australia's gun rules could provide a blueprint for the nation.

The Bondi shooter's gun licence entitled him to an uncapped quantity of certain kinds of rifles and shotguns.

Gun control advocates say the terrifying mass shooting in Bondi on Sunday shows Australia's firearms laws, reformed after the Port Arthur tragedy, have been weakened in the years since.

An urgent meeting of national cabinet agrees to strengthen Australia's gun laws in the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting.

For a while, it was like so many other summer Sundays in Bondi, but Australia's most deadly mass shooting in almost three decades could change the country forever. 

It is reported that the number one source of illegal guns in Australia remains the theft of legal ones from registered owners.  

Almost three decades after Australia's worst-ever mass shooting, the total number of firearms in the country is the highest it has ever been but the surge in illegal guns is not due to 3D-printed weapons or black-market imports from overseas.

More than 100 firearms are seized in a WA Police operation targeting 'sovereign citizens' in the wake of the fatal shooting of two Victorian officers.

A gun enthusiast who rang a WA Police acting inspector who was involved in the state's firearm reforms and told him "we're coming for you" three times is ordered to do community work and undergo counselling.
