Tasmania introduces handgun restriction legislation
Tasmania has joined all other states and territories in introducing legislation aimed at restricting the availability of hanguns.

The legislation is the result of an agreement between the federal and state governments to tighten handgun control following a shooting at Monash University in Melbourne last year.

The Bill restricts the ownership of pistols of certain lengths, calibres and firing capacities as well as tightening handgun licensing and club membership requirements.
