In order to regulate the traffic of firearms at an international level, it is necessary to begin by regulating it at both a regional and national level. This paper highlights international strategies aimed at curbing the proliferation of firearms into Australia. It also examines Australian government initiatives introduced to reduce the number of, and access to, illegal firearms in the community, and consequently to reduce firearm related violence.

Over the past 10-15 years, although the overall use of firearms in violent crime has declined, handguns have increasingly become the firearm of choice in both Australia and other English-speaking countries. Handguns are often used as a means of protection, particularly among people involved in gangs and the drugs market, and their concealable nature, high firepower and large calibre are often cited as features prompting their acquisition by the criminal community. This paper describes the use of handguns to commit lethal and non-lethal crime in Australia; and in light of recent legislative restrictions on handgun ownership and use, the legal status of handguns used in these crimes. Overall there appear to be low ownership rates among offenders in Australia. However, handguns currently account for around half of all firearm-related homicides and are distinguishable from other homicides, particularly with regard to location (non-residential), relationship between victim and offender (known but not related), and alleged motive (money or drugs). Handgun-perpetrated armed robberies are also found to be distinct from robberies committed with other weapons, with a higher proportion targeting organisations and netting greater monetary yields. The majority of handguns used in crime appear to be illegal. Available data suggest many are acquired from friends or family, and diversion, including theft from legal sources, may represent an important source of handguns (and other firearms) into the illegal market and their subsequent use in crime.

The Illicit Small Arms in the Pacific Research Project conducted a strategic assessment, rather than a detailed stocktake, of the illicit small arms situation in the Western Pacific Island region. It focused on Fiji, PNG (excluding Bougainville) and Solomon Islands. As anticipated, most illicit small arms in the region come from within the countries studied and are largely recirculated within them. However, pockets exist where weapons transgress borders, although this is not particularly organised or substantial. There are also trends with new weapons entering the region, but these are mostly imported by, or with the knowledge and/or approval of, national governments. This makes illicit small arms in Western Pacific Island countries less of a transnational problem and more of a national government problem. Several region-wide trends are linked, potentially to small arms proliferation. These were outside the scope of this project, but are worthy of attention and so are discussed briefly in this project report.

This book illustrates how illicit trafficking affects both the stability of states & the safety of their populations. Curbing its development & proliferation calls for a better assessment of the phenomenon & a new way of looking at problems & identifying solutions. The debate in this book centres around such prominent issues as trafficking in small arms; delivery system technologies & components; & weapons of mass destruction. The book concludes with a set of recommendations on how to develop cooperation & provides an action-oriented agenda that can be adopted by such institutions as police forces, border patrols, judiciary & parliamentary institutions, INTERPOL & intelligence services.

The Port Arthur massacre on 28 April 1996, when 35 people were shot dead by Martin Bryant, transformed Australia's gun control debate. Public outrage drove politicians from all sides of politics to embrace gun control. Non-violent 'people power' galvanised government resolve to outlaw semi-automatic weapons, register all guns and tighten gun ownership laws. Simon Chapman's book gives an insider's view of the struggle for gun control, highlighting the public discourse between shooters determined to preserve the right for civilians to bear military-style weapons, and activists dedicated to getting Australia 'off the American path' of gun violence.
