The Victorian government has announced sweeping firearm law reforms after accepting 15 of 16 recommendations from a rapid review into the state’s gun regulations, but it has rejected a controversial proposal to cap gun ownership at four firearms per licence holder. Premier Jacinta Allan said the focus would instead remain on illegal firearms, trafficking and high-risk weapons rather than restricting law-abiding gun owners. Planned reforms include stronger licensing requirements, tighter controls on imitation and illicit firearms, improved intelligence-sharing between agencies and updated firearm classifications. The review was commissioned following national concerns over gun laws and public safety, with debate continuing over how best to balance community protection and recreational firearm ownership
