    The Control of Weapons Act 1990 and Control of Weapons Regulations 2000 are the basis of Victoria's regulatory framework for the control of non-firearm weapons which reduce risks posed to public safety by prohibiting certain non-firearm weapons such as flick knives, butterfly knives, daggers, slingshots, knuckle-dusters, pistol grip crossbows etc, and reduce their general availability to the public decreasing both risks of crime and injury if they are misused.
