Australia has launched a gun buyback scheme following a shooting incident at Bondi Beach. The initiative aims to reduce the number of firearms in circulation in response to the recent violence.

The decision comes in light of the Bondi Beach shooting, which has raised concerns about public safety and gun control measures in the country. The buyback program is part of a broader effort to address gun-related violence and promote community safety.

Similar situations have occurred globally, including a recent incident where gunfire at a Christmas event in Chicama, Peru left several injured. Such events highlight the ongoing challenges related to gun violence and the need for effective measures to prevent future occurrences.

The Australian government is expected to provide further details on the implementation of the buyback scheme in the coming days.
