Can Australia hold a gun?

Australian law stipulates that citizens or permanent residents can apply for guns, but the purpose is limited to shooting training or hunting. Applicants with guns must undergo safety knowledge training and background investigation before they can obtain a gun license. Gun buyers need to apply for an equipment license before buying guns, and wait for 28 days. Each equipment license can only be used to buy one gun.

In order to cope with the proliferation of illegal guns and ensure people's personal safety, the Australian government has decided to take a series of measures to strengthen gun management.

In order to reduce the number of unregistered guns, the government will implement an Amnesty policy and recycle illegal guns in society. "This Amnesty is only for unregistered guns, not for the repurchase of legal guns," Keenan said. "Amnesty for those illegal gunmen who voluntarily surrender their guns, the government exempts them from prosecution."

Amnesty was implemented in the middle of 20 17.

The Australian government will increase penalties for illegal gun owners and transporters, and invest a lot of money to strengthen customs inspection of gun parts and illegal guns, and improve the inspection and tracking capabilities of law enforcement agencies.

Keenan said that these measures are a strong and clear message to illegal gunmen, indicating the Australian government's "zero tolerance" attitude towards gun-related crimes and violence.

Australia is one of the countries that strictly control guns in the world, but illegal guns have always existed. It has been reported that there are nearly 260,000 illegal guns in Australia, but some experts say this figure is a conservative estimate, and the total number of illegal guns in Australia should exceed 600,000.
