Victorian Premier Allan rejects firearms cap ahead of November election

Victoria's Premier Jacinta Allan rejected a firearms cap recommendation Monday, breaking with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and her own police review. Allan said she opposed limits to avoid punishing responsible gun owners ahead of November elections. Her decision reflects Labor's struggles in regional areas where 650,000 of Victoria's 974,550 registered firearms are located, and outer-suburban electorates with significant hunting communities.
