Illegal firearms campaign success

|
|

Across WA and around Australia, our illegal firearms campaign increased awareness, education and action towards ‘no illegal guns’.

In WA, over 2,700 firearms have been surrendered or seized by police and nearly 65,000 rounds of ammunition (to 30 Sept 2022).

That represents a significant reduction in the potential for firearms-related harm in the community.

The campaign involved a permanent amnesty to hand in unregistered or illegal firearms followed by a message to the public to ‘say something before it’s too late’ and report any illegal or unregistered firearms to Crime Stoppers or police.
