Wondering, if there's more guns than people licensed in Barnaby Joyce's electorate, what do you think the unlicensed numbers are going to look like? We're meant to be a peaceful nation. With this many guns?
3728 guns in Walcha, Barnaby Joyce's electorate.

No - that's the thing - these are not the guns of collectors. "Largest Number Of Guns Held By 1 Registered Owner (Excluding Collectors)" Re: armourer, is that not a job? So, they could possibly have a different workplace registration? eg: I doubt that police are part of this dataset.

Our gun laws have a hell of a lot more work to do @robertarnol.bsky.social, considering that there's now more guns than before the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social created toomanyguns.org to pull data re: NSW gun ownership, and I hope he expands that nationwide.
