Victoria’s Allan government rejects calls to introduce limits on the number of firearms a person can own, following a review of gun laws. Multiple outlets report the decision comes after a former police chief urged the government to cap firearm ownership. The review is described as being triggered by the Bondi attack and results in Victoria maintaining its current approach, where gun owners face no limits on how many firearms they can legally possess. The reporting is consistent that the government’s position is to keep the existing framework rather than introduce a new cap. While the outlets focus on the rejection of the cap proposal, they also note that the government’s stance is shaped by the outcomes of the gun-law review linked to the Bondi incident. No alternative ownership cap or specific new numerical restriction is reported in the provided summaries, and attention remains on the government’s decision to not change the maximum number of firearms a person can hold under current laws.
