The bill has a number of safeguards built into it. In particular, the court must be satisfied that, on balance of probabilities, the making of a firearms prohibition order is reasonable, necessary, and appropriate to assist in managing the risk that that person sentenced poses to public safety. The qualifying convictions in the bill target those who present the highest risk of future serious violent crime or serious firearms offences. Those who are subject to a firearms prohibition order are required to meet a number of conditions: they would not be able to be around firearms, stay where firearms are stored or are available, join or visit shooting clubs or ranges, participate in any activity that involves firearms, visit places where firearms are made, repaired or modified.
