Quick, what all was changed? Did they ban mostly semi-autos?

 

[Quick]

They haven't Banned semi-autos, just made it hard to get them. To own any firearm here in Australia, you must show a just and lawful reason to use and possess a firearms. Self defence doesn't count. And to get a Semi-Auto, you must show how a pump, lever or bolt action rifle would NOT do the job properly. Station owners can get them but not normal sporting shooters.
