If you’re aware of someone in possession of an illegal firearm, reporting it is key to preventing a possible tragedy. Staying silent allows these weapons to remain in circulation, but your report could stop violence before it occurs.
How Illegal Firearms Impact Communities
Illegal firearms, which includes unregistered firearms, pose a significant threat to community safety. These weapons can end up in the hands of criminals, making them difficult to track and hindering law enforcement efforts. The unchecked circulation of stolen firearms leaves communities vulnerable, and fuels organised crime, gang violence, and even domestic abuse.
Ultimately, the presence of illegal firearms undermines public safety, putting innocent lives at risk and highlighting the urgent need for action to address this growing issue.
Your Role in Reporting Illegal Firearms
If you know someone—whether a current or former partner, friend, or family member—in possession of an illegal firearm, it’s crucial to speak up. Many people hesitate, fearing retaliation or unsure of how to proceed. Crime Stoppers offers a way to make an anonymous report, protecting your identity while helping law enforcement take action.
Why Reporting Matters
Speaking up can feel difficult, but it’s a necessary step in keeping your community safe. By reporting illegal firearms, you’re taking action that could prevent a tragedy and keep Queensland safe. They’ll never know it was you.
Say something before it’s too late. For you. For your family. For your community.
