Recent estimates suggest there are as many as 200,000 people in NSW alone who have gun licences without proper need or genuine reason. We made good progress in getting rid of firearms in the 1990s, but we seem to have been going backwards since.
If you don’t have a good reason for having a gun, why should you be allowed to use or possess one?The shootings at Bondi on 14 December 2025 came about in circumstances where a person living in suburban Sydney had six firearms, all held by him under the guise of being a recreational hunter. There appears to have been no effective scrutiny given to any “genuine reason” that that person offered as being a justification for the acquisition of any of those six firearms.What is needed is refinement in the evidence necessary to satisfy the firearms registration authority as to the bona fides of the applicant, and to ensure that each firearm that is acquired can equally satisfy the registering authority as being for good reason.
