The Situation
The federal government is fast-tracking sweeping firearms reforms through Parliament with minimal consultation. These changes will significantly impact law-abiding gun owners, rural communities, and individual rights.
Why It Matters
Rushed Process
Parliament recalled at the last minute, bypassing proper democratic consultation and debate.
Punishes Law-Abiding Citizens
Responsible gun owners who have done nothing wrong face new restrictions, costs, and bureaucratic burdens.
No Right to Appeal
The reforms remove the right to appeal police decisions on license cancellations or seizures.
Rural Communities Hit Hardest
Farmers and rural Australians who rely on firearms for pest control and livestock management face the strictest restrictions.
Unproven Effectiveness
No evidence these reforms will stop terrorism or mass violence. Attackers often use illegal weapons not covered by these laws.
Billions in Taxpayer Costs
The buyback scheme could cost billions with limited proven benefit in reducing crime or improving safety.
Proposed Changes
The legislation includes several major reforms that will impact current firearms owners.
- National gun buyback scheme
- Caps on the number of firearms per person
- Restrictions on types of firearms
- Reduced magazine capacity limits
- Shortened license terms
- Stricter storage requirements
- Mandatory regular health assessments
- More frequent licensing checks
- Removal of appeal rights for license decisions
