Australia was seen as a world leader in gun control - Bondi has exposed a more complicated reality

Australia's gun control history is scrutinized after the Bondi Beach shooting highlighted loopholes in the country's strict gun laws. Roland Browne, a gun control advocate, emphasizes the need for tighter regulations as gun ownership has surged to record highs, with over four million privately-owned firearms in Australia. Following the recent shooting, the government is considering reforms like a national gun buyback scheme, improved intelligence sharing, and regular reviews of license holders to address concerns and strengthen gun laws across the country.
