Description

Following the Bondi tragedy, Australias gun control laws face intense scrutiny. Federal and state governments pledge to overhaul firearms legislation, focusing on limiting gun ownership, rigorous license holder reviews, and expanded law enforcement powers. The alleged gunman, Sajid Akram, had a ten-year license for six guns, sparking calls for stricter laws. Australias current laws, established after Port Arthur, restrict ownership to activities like target shooting. The attack involved a bolt-action rifle and a shotgun. Gun control advocates urge strict limits on home firearms and restrictions in urban areas, emphasizing public safety. This moment marks a critical juncture for Australias approach to firearm regulation.
