Its clear from the article that the objective of the buyback program was to lower the volume of certain kinds of guns, not all guns.
> One of the most significant provisions of the NFA was a flat-out ban on certain kinds of guns, such as automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. But there were already a number of such guns in circulation in Australia, and the NFA required getting them off the streets.
- _-david-_ 4y agoSemiautomatic and shotguns are still quite popular in Australia. It is hard to get an exact breakdown since many Australians own them illegally though. There is a possibility there are more of these type guns than before. The only other type of guns are bolt action and revolvers. I just don't think there was a massive increase in ownership of those, but if you have any stats I would love to see them.
