Offenbar plant die australische Regierung nach dem Anschlag vom Bondi Beach ein umfassendes Waffen-Rückkauf-Programm:

Prime minister announces 'largest' gun buyback scheme since Howard era

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced the government will fund a national gun buyback scheme, labelling it the largest such measure since John Howard established a similar plan in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre.

The buyback initiative would be consistent with the 1996 approach, Mr Albanese told reporters in Canberra on Friday, and target surplus, newly banned and illegal firearms. Strengthening gun laws was the government's first major commitment in the immediate aftermath of the deadly terror attack on Sydney's Jewish community, in which 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl, were killed. [...]

The prime minister is facing some internal resistance to tougher firearm restrictions, with Hunter MP and Olympic shooter Dan Repacholi taking to Instagram to declare he does not support changes "that unfairly target responsible, law-abiding firearms owners". [...] Gun laws are primarily the responsibility of states and territories, which would also be tasked with the collection, processing and payments under the prime minister's proposal, while the Australian Federal Police would manage the destruction of the weapons. Mr Albanese said there were more than four million firearms in Australia, which is more than at the time of the Port Arthur massacre.
