Gun laws strong but still get questions wey remain
Mass shootings don rare for Australia from the time one lone gunman kill 35 people for the tourist town Port Arthur in 1996.
Di country's gun ownership system don get credit as one of di systems wey give low per capita gun homicide rates.
But di number of guns wey people hold legally don dey increase steady for pass two decades and now, na four million, e pass the number wey dey before di 1996 crackdown, na so think tank wey dem dey call the Australia Institute talk earlier dis year.
As e be now, the licence wey one of the suspects get, e give am right to own the weapons wey e get, na so NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon tell reporters.
Maya Gomez, wey be lecturer for criminology for Swinburne University of Technology, talk say anybody wey wan get NSW gun licence must first show true reason why dem need weapon.
After the Bondi shooting, 'questions fit focus on the true reason wey dem give concerning the amount, and the reasons wey connect to the types of guns wey dem register and use for the attack,' Gomez talk for email.
Crime level still low
Even though Australia's gun numbers dey rise, gun-related crime still low compared to global standards. For the year up to June 2024, 33 Australians die from gun homicides, according to di latest data wey Australian Institute of Criminology publish.
That one compare with 49 gun homicides per day for the United States through 2023, na so Centers for Disease Control and Prevention talk.
The one dem dey call the 'Port Arthur massacre' lead to big reforms wey many people for world view as gold standard.
Dem include gun buyback scheme, national firearms register and heavy crackdown on ownership of semi-automatic weapons.
