Analysis of the Australian Crime Commission's National Firearm Trace Database

The NFTD, the primary data source for this study, is a compilation of unit record data on some unregistered firearms recovered by federal, state and territory police agencies…

Each unit record in the NFTD refers to an individual firearm and includes information on:

- the make, model, calibre, action and category of the firearm;
- modifications made to the firearm;
- the country in which the firearm was manufactured and date of import;
- registration history;
- whether the firearm was subject to the 1996 gun buyback (long-arms) or the 2003 handgun buyback;
- the date and state or territory the firearm was recovered;
- the reason or activity by which the firearm became illicit; and
- the illicit context in which the firearm was recovered.

Restricted firearms were defined as those long-arms that were subject to the 1996 buyback and those handguns that were subject to the 2003 buyback…
