Australia enforces some of the world's strictest firearm laws, making ownership challenging. While hunting, agriculture, and sport shooting are permitted, using firearms for self-defense is explicitly forbidden. Most civilians are restricted to bolt-action rifles (e.g., .22 caliber) and shotguns, with semi-automatic firearms and handguns (except for club members) largely prohibited. All firearms must be registered, ammunition is controlled, and police can inspect storage.
