The NSW government is preparing urgent legislation to remove recreational hunting as a "genuine reason" to own guns. This comes after the Bondi massacre and aims to dramatically reduce gun licences in the state. Greens MLC Sue Higginson said, "New South Wales has a gun problem that we must now confront. We have over 1.1m guns in this state, more than there were prior to the Port Arthur massacre." She added, "We must limit the number of guns a person can have, we need stricter controls on who can have them and we need to draw a line in the sand and remove recreational hunting as a genuine reason to own a firearm." Animal Justice Party MLC Emma Hurst and independent Alex Greenwich proposed a 12-point plan, including banning recreational hunting as a reason for gun ownership and restricting home storage unless for work. They also want tighter controls on gun owners flagged for domestic violence and suggest family courts order police to check firearm registries and remove guns from perpetrators. Stephen Bendle from the Australian Gun Safety Alliance said, "The category of 'recreational hunting' had led to a proliferation of guns in the community" and believes new rules could allow pest control while improving safety. The Alannah and Madeline Foundation and AGSA presented a 10-point plan to Premier Chris Minns, who will unveil "the toughest gun laws in Australia" soon. NSW parliament will meet Monday and Tuesday to consider the urgent bill. Minns hinted at limiting guns per person, restricting magazine sizes, introducing citizenship requirements, and tougher licence renewals. Currently, licences last two to five years but lack strict reassessment. The government is also thinking about removing appeals to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal when police refuse gun licences, though details are unclear. Treasurer Daniel Mookhey said discussions are ongoing on licence holders and whether recreational hunting will remain a valid reason. Shadow Attorney General Alister Henskens expressed doubts about the rushed approach, stating, "Some of the changes Chris Minns has suggested around gun licensing is already in the legislation or can be done by regulation, not legislation. Chris Minns must be clear with the opposition and the public what changes he is proposing." NSW Nationals leader Gurmesh Singh stressed the need to protect farmers and rural residents, saying, "This was a terrorist attack, fuelled by antisemitism. Tackling firearm issues alone won’t stop anti-Jewish terrorist attacks, only eradicating antisemitism will achieve this." He added, "Our farmers and primary producers must not be disadvantaged by the actions of terrorists."
