But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the laws already exist to stop the wrong people from accessing firearms – and they were not properly used.![]()

There is no evidence that Australia’s firearm laws failed; the evidence instead points to serious failures within national security systems and leadership-level failures within NSW Police (in stark contrast to the extraordinary bravery of operational members on the scene).![]()

The SSAA condemns the terrorist attack and act of anti-Semitic hatred in the strongest possible terms.![]()

The common element among terrorist attacks is not the type of weapon that is used to dispense hatred but rather the radicalisation of individuals to the point that they feel killing their fellow Australians is a legitimate course of action.![]()

The courses of action that will prevent further terrorist attacks in Australia are those that seek to combat and prevent radicalisation of individuals in our community. This may include more resourcing for ASIO and the counter terrorism units of Australia’s police forces.![]()

The SSAA further notes that the National Firearms Agreement was negotiated over a number of months in consultation with shooting and sporting organisations. We are prepared to work with government to ensure that any changes to it are fair and reasonable.
