Title: WA and the National Firearms Agreement
Post by Sir Eoin O Fada on Sep 17^th, 2024 at 6:31pm

Seems that WA has torn up the NFA by introducing numerous
new firearm laws without consultation with the other States.

Well this is a non starter and so many people seemed to be interested in Uniform National Firearms Laws.
The impression is that it only works one whay.

Seems that a requirement of the new laws in WA will be a mental health assessment of all firearm users, WA police excepted.

Western Australia becomes first jurisdiction in Australia to impose a limit on the number of firearms an individual can own.

Most people will be limited to 10 firearms under the new laws, although that's reduced to five for hunting licences.

A friend in WA has just acquired three flintlock guns because their former owners had exceeded the new limits.

A great danger to public safety has been avoided, one of these deadly weapons is a Brown Bess musket as issued on the First Fleet and in the colony of NSW way back in 1788.
