There is not a total weapons ban

I use firearms regularly at club meets and recreational shooting.
There are set regulations that all legal owners MUST adhere too. The police do come to your door and check your gun and ammunition safe regularly and the latest thing: if you are pulled over for a vehicle license/rego check here in New South Wales. Not sure of the other states.
The information that comes up on the police computer screen will now display if you are a registered gun owner.


Ban of Semi-automatic long arms, not handguns; in 1996 the law on handguns was near to uniform across Australia; and that it would have made it extremely difficult to obtain the National Agreement on Firearms if pistols were included. To obtain legally a concealed handgun is not easy.There are rules.

In 2002, in response to the Monash shooting in Melbourne, the then prime minister, John Howard, banned some types of handguns, but left many more legally available.
As the law now stands, a licensed gun owner may legally purchase a military-style, semi-automatic pistol with a magazine capacity of 10 rounds, along with an unlimited supply of ammunition.
A child as young as 12 in most states, or fewer than 12 in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, may use a high-powered, military style pistol under adult supervision. Handguns are mostly used for target shooting within gun clubs
