Fresh details revealed regarding gun buyback scheme

Key points

• Six NSW police stations, including Penrith, will accept surrendered firearms from November 2 under a new national gun buyback scheme. Eligible licence holders will receive compensation at a fixed price schedule.
• More stations will join in December, and the scheme will run for 12 months. Participants must book through the Gun Safe portal, as walk-in surrenders will not be accepted.
• Police and Counter-terrorism Minister Yasmin Catley said fewer guns in the community would make it safer.
