Is firearm compliance slipping in Australia?

Australia is often held up as an international example of best practice when it comes to gun control.

But new research has found compliance with firearms regulations is starting to slip.

The U-S is reeling from another mass shooting.

But, Australians enjoy the protection of gun laws, enacted in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania in 1996.

Then Prime Minister John Howard banned semi-automatic rifles and pump action shotguns, while the government bought back and destroyed nearly 700,000 firearms.

But a report released today (5/10) by Gun Control Australia says no state or territory has ever fully complied with firearms resolutions.
