They re-emerged amid the national gun reform project launched after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre and again after the Lindt Cafe siege in Sydney in 2014.Currently, states and territories supply data to a national firearms information network, co-ordinated by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission. It tracks the nearly 4 million firearms in Australia, up from about 2.75 million a decade ago.More than 868,000 people have firearm licences in Australia.Experts believe the Howard government’s landmark gun reform laws introduced after the Port Arthur killings led to an approximately 48 per cent decline in firearms ownership, but hundreds of thousands of unregistered and illegal weapons are also believed to be spread across the country.After 35 people were killed in the massacre, a national gun buyback scheme resulted in more than 650,000 firearms. both banned and legal, being surrendered to state police forces or destroyed.A truck unloads prohibited firearms at a scrap metal yard in 1997 after the Port Arthur massacre a year earlier. ReutersAdvertisementMr Dreyfus said the new register would represent a signature community and police safety initiative, allowing law enforcement agencies around the country to access near real-time information on firearms, parts, and owners.It will link police forces and other agencies with firearms information and other government information, including from the National Criminal Intelligence System.“Once established, police will know where firearms are, who owns them, and what other risks to the community and police may exist,” Mr Dreyfus said.“The Australian government is committed to protecting the Australian community and ensuring Australia’s firearms laws remain among the most effective in the world.”The development of the register will follow community and stakeholder consultation, and be led by the Attorney-General’s Department and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.The registry is expected to be fully operational around 2028, but its establishment will require legislative and technical work, including data consistency updates by the states, the replacement of paper-based record systems, and upgrades to the portals used for gun dealers, importers and manufacturers.Some smaller jurisdictions had told the federal government the cost of updating their databases to national standards could be prohibitive.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2430732442"}
