National e-Trace program

The National e-Trace program is an Australian initiative designed to assist law enforcement agencies in tracing firearms and related data. It uses an online database that allows police to track the history of firearms, including their origins, ownership, and changes in status. This program aims to prevent gun-related crime and enhance public safety by facilitating the investigation of illegal firearms. By providing a transparent system for monitoring firearm transactions, e-Trace helps authorities respond effectively to incidents involving firearms and promotes accountability in responsible gun ownership.
