Australian Broadcaster Calls For Uniform Gun Regulation

A broadcaster stated there is no simple solution to gun injury and crime in Australia. The discussion highlighted a need for limits on the number of firearms individuals can keep in homes or on farms to minimize black market movement. The issue was described as a matrix of regulation. The proposal aims to minimize the volume of weapons moving into the black market. The broadcaster noted that banning semi-automatic firearms following the Port Arthur massacre has prevented mass shootings for 30 years. The call said the need to maintain these regulations to address gun crime and suicides. A broadcaster on ABC NewsRadio AU called for national uniformity in gun regulations across Australia. The broadcaster urged pressure on recalcitrant state governments to implement consistent laws nationwide.
