It sounds like he realises it’s the illegal firearms that are the problem, not the legal ones.

Yeah I read that too but it didn't make sense to me, surely the police already have those powers, if they have evidence they can get search warrants now right? Could just be poor journalism though and maybe something else was said

He'd be better off using the $210 million to set up an standalone firearms licensing authority and free up Police for policing
