[Editor's Note: Victoria and the Northern Territory refused to provide firearm registration totals, either under Freedom of Information legislation or Police Research Committee procedures. The total number of registered firearms calculated above by GunPolicy.org is higher than the national total of 2,890,0009 released in 2016 by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC). The federal tally is likely to have been adjusted for suspected duplicate, redundant or otherwise inaccurate registry records].
