The image above is tantalizing and frustrating in its scope and lack of resolution.
In writing articles about the great Australian gun confiscation of 1997, I have not found any images that I can easily use. I found an AP source, but they are very careful with copyright protection. I am sure that there are images of the destruction that are publicly available, but I am having a hard time finding them.
If you have better luck, please contact me. I would appreciate images that give the scale of the destruction and are clear enough to show details of the firearms that were confiscated and destroyed, though other images might well be useful of themselves.

Perhaps you should direct your query to the Firearms Owners Association of Australia. I'm sure they have lots of images you could use.

ReplyDeleteYou'll have to sort through them.
@ least ½ of the so-called 'handed in' guns were not destroyed.....they were snaffled by corrupt coppers and either kept or on-sold to crims....especially in NSW & Qld....
