Frequently Asked Questions
The current NSW firearms legislation, the Firearms Act 1996, was introduced as a response to growing community concern about firearms being used to perpetrate violent crime. Firearms were easy to obtain and their possession was generally not prohibited. The Firearms Act sets up a system which controls eligibility for firearms licences. These matters are determined by a Tribunal.
It is important to understand that all firearms are dealt with under the Firearms Act 1996, while prohibited weapons and articles are dealt with in the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998.
