Interesting to see in Aussie the claims of the benefits provided by their version of the registry don't seem to be stacking up to reality. A lot of shooting-related incidents over there seem to have creative classifications added to them which seems to spread their footprint over multiple incident types rather than appearing in one heading of gun crime. Looking back through the news feeds from Aussie their numbers of shooting related gun crime seems to be at a roughly similar rate to what we are experiencing, along with knife crime at a population level. It's a little hard to be specific while the authorities are fudging the numbers obviously.
Hopefully this comes out as part of the review and they don't just use the official figures. There seems to be a solid case to be made for directing the funding and resources for the registry back to the front line that's for sure.
