Coalition Slams 'Failed' Gun Buybacks as Albanese Vows to Push On The Australian government's push for a national gun buyback scheme has stalled, with some states refusing to participate and others dragging their feet.
Critics argue that the program is little more than a symbolic gesture, unfairly targeting law abiding citizens. At its core, the issue revolves around disagreement over the purpose and effectiveness of gun buybacks.
Supporters point to the 1996 Howard government's successful buyback scheme as a model for reducing gun violence and promoting public health.
