Criminals don't have a hard time getting guns in Australia who are you trying to bullshit to?
Your gunpolicy link is not credible Philip Alpers has no credibility.
From your link-
Quote:Number of Privately Owned Firearms
The estimated total number of guns (both licit and illicit) held by civilians in Australia is
2016: 3,150,0001
How does Philip Alpers know how many illicit guns are out there, if he knows where they are why haven't the police been told to go get them?
Not only that he is way out with legal firearm numbers The NZ sporting shooters association said he was a sloppy researcher with dubious qualifications.
In 2016 we had 5,798,980 registered firearms with 1,973,522 firearm license holders which is nearly double what Philip Alpers claims we have.
Page 63 for license and registered firearm numbers.
