Not true. As I mentioned in an earlier post, there are some significant restrictions on carrying weapons, but there are millions of guns in private hands in Australia.
Webpage for my favourite Australian gun shop.
I really find it amazing how many Americans have been misinformed about Australian laws. It just shows how easy it is to lie to people.
We have significant restrictions here - universal licencing and universal registration among other things - but private ownership of firearms remains perfectly legal.
“We have significant restrictions here - universal licencing and universal registration among other things - but private ownership of firearms remains perfectly legal.”
So, private gun ownership is no longer a right. It’s now a privilege. Ability to own a gun is decided by your government. Very sad.
