Tackling Stolen Guns and How Gunbar’s Secure Storage Can Help

Introduction

Let’s discuss the elephant in the room. Stolen guns and firearms thefts in Australia.

Despite Australia’s strict gun control laws, incidents of stolen firearms still persist.

Today, we’ll explore the latest insights from a recent study and discussing how Gunbar’s secure storage options can be instrumental in preventing firearm thefts.

Understanding Stolen Guns in Australia

Australia has long been known for its rigorous gun control regulations, initially bolstered by events that took place in Tasmania in 1996.

However, the spectre of stolen firearms continues to haunt us.

These weapons, when stolen, can fall into the hands of criminals, resulting in a host of potential negative consequences.

Consequences of Stolen Firearms

Escalating Crime

Stolen firearms could or might be used in robberies, drug-related violence, and other illegal activities further exacerbating crime rates.

Public Safety Concerns

The theft of firearms poses a significant threat to public safety.

As noted above, these weapons can be misused in various incidents, from domestic violence to robberies and potential shootings.

Challenges for Law Enforcement

Tracking & tracing stolen guns presents a substantial challenge for state & federal law enforcement agencies. Stolen firearms can change hands multiple times before being used in a crime.

Impact on Australia’s Reputation

Incidents involving stolen guns cast a shadow on Australia’s reputation as a safe and peaceful nation.

Recent Study on Stolen Firearms in Queensland

A recent study published by Statista provides insights into the prevalence of stolen firearms in Queensland, Australia.

According to the study, the number of stolen firearms in Queensland has fluctuated in recent years with the most recent data showing 720 stolen firearms in Queensland for the year 2017.

With the number of legally registered firearms in Queensland being in excess of 1 Million, 720 is a drop in the ocean.

While the figures have remained relatively low compared to other regions, this underscores the importance of vigilance and continued efforts to prevent firearm thefts.

As unfortunate as it is, eyes are on licensed firearm owners to prevent firearms falling into criminal hands.

The more guns that are stolen in Queensland, the more likely it is for the introduction of legislation punishing law abiding firearm owners to prevent guns entering the black market and being used for nefarious reasons.
