Introduction
1: In February 1984, legislative changes came into effect which required all firearms owners in the State of Victoria to register the firearms held in their possession… a time span of three years was required (1/2/84 to 31/1/87)…
By the 31st January, 1987, in theory, all firearms that required registration in the State of Victoria should be registered…
18: …at the conclusion of the programme only 58.9% of Victorians had registered firearms… Public disobedience or ignorance of the law is by no means a small percentage."
