Australia Institute research shows that in 2024 there were over 4 million guns legally owned in the civilian population in Australia.

This is 25% more than before the Port Arthur shootings in 1996 when there were around 3 million guns.

That figure fell below 2.5 million after the Howard Government gun reforms.

This shows that Australian governments know how to implement effective gun control.

They have done it before, and it is now time to do it again.
