flag WA's 2024 gun laws caused a surge in cross-state firearm transfers, driving price drops and storage issues.

flag Western Australia’s strict gun laws, enacted in June 2024, have triggered a surge in cross-border firearm movement as owners comply with new limits—five guns for hunters, ten for farmers and shooters—and requirements for training, health checks, and secure storage. flag The reforms, prompted by a fatal shooting involving a man with 13 registered guns, led to widespread transfers to other states, especially the Northern Territory and eastern regions, causing market disruptions, plummeting prices, and storage challenges. flag A sudden ban on lever-release rifles and low buyback payouts further unsettled dealers and owners, who face logistical hurdles and financial losses despite broad support for enhanced safety.
