In the wake of the terrorist shooting at Bondi Beach, the Greens Party has launched a new online tool that allows people living in New South Wales (NSW) to enter their postcode and find out how many of their neighbours own guns and how many guns there are in their postcode.

It charts the data over the past three years, so people can also see how gun ownership has increased or decreased over time.
