At a press conference in Melbourne on Friday, Keenan said he was delighted by Australia's response to the amnesty, which was introduced by the federal
government on July 1, and urged Australians to make the most of the remaining
three weeks to hand in unwanted and unregistered guns.
"This is a great result, and shows Australians are serious about protecting themselves, their families, and their communities Nike Shox Turbo 2 Womens Clearance ," Keenan said on Friday.
"There are now only three weeks remaining to hand in firearms under the Amnesty, and I encourage Australians to continue to take advantage of the
Amnesty period to help remove unregistered firearms from the community.
"As we know, just one firearm in the wrong hands can be deadly."
The National Firearm Amnesty commenced nine weeks ago and was the first nationwide gun amnesty since 1996 when the John Howard Government took
definitive action following the backlash from the Port Arthur massacre in
Tasmania, when 35 people were killed by crazed gunman Martin Bryant.
The amnesty period gives Australians the opportunity to legally dispose of any unwanted or unregistered firearms at approved drop-off points throughout
each state and territory.
Keenan warned that any person found in possession of an unregistered firearm beyond the three-month reprieve period would be punished.
"Outside of the amnesty period, anyone caught with an unregistered firearm could face a fine of up to 280,000 AU dollars (224,000 U.S. dollars), up to 14
years in jail, and a criminal record Nike Shox R4 Womens Clearance ," he said on Friday.
Keenan said there had been several rare weapons given up by Australians throughout the past two months.
"Among the more unusual firearms handed in under the amnesty have been a Beaumont Adams revolver circa 1856, a WWI era Lee Enfield rifle and two WWII US
M1 carbines," he said.
New South Wales residents have handed in more than 13,000 firearms so far, by far the most of any Australian state, while Victoria has relinquished a little
over 2,000.

Besides, world media should demonstrate their responsibility in serving the public interests by creating a positive, healthy and harmonious public opinion
environment, as well as preventing the propaganda of extremism and terrorism
from spreading, especially on new media platforms.
Moreover, they should make their due contributions to promote unity and consensus among different countries in covering hot issues, such as global
warming, refugee crisis Nike Shox 807 Mens Clearance , and poverty reduction.

For a long time, the stage of global communication has been dominated by Western powers, and the voices of developing countries have largely gone
unheard. Media groups from developing countries should work together to gain
greater say for their countries and peoples Nike Shox TLX Mens Clearance , as well as to expand more common grounds with their peers from developed countries to improve the global communication
order.

It is also worth noting that the current global economic governance order can hardly reflect the real changes of the international order Nike Shox Current Mens Clearance , let alone save the stagnant global economy.
World media should address the issue by promoting a more transparent and fairer order of economic governance with balanced interests, which would benefit
both developing and developed countries.
