A few years ago the present government launched a government gun buy-back, subsidized by a temporary rise in the Medicare rate (taxation applied for public health-care). This was in response to a masacre in Tasmania, where some crazy bloke starting hunting tourists at Port Arthur.
It would be interesting to hear from someone who has been tracking the Australian situation since the buy-back.

Has anyone looked into the Australian stats?
