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.

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.

Where are you? Don’t let the side down, you don’t have to support the reactionary WA Government.

Hearing that many volunteers who would put animals down from road accidents etc have quit due to these new gun laws. This leaves far less humane methods to deal with this the gun grabbers will be happy people will use slower cruel methods to put these animals down.

Good to see guns treated as a dangerous weapon that require strong laws and restrictions on there purchase and ownership....Guns are a priveledge not a right and anyone who really needs a gun can still get one if they meet the criteria....Honest people with a genuine reason to own a gun do not need to worry....Only self obsessed arsehole would put their right to own a gun before the right to protect the public from gun violence....If you don't like the laws don't come to WA and shove your guns up your arse!!!

(and manufacturer). The Nosler .28 is a small game projectile accurate to 500m. And is proscribed. The Remington .28 and the Winchester .28 are not so proscribed. https://sportingshooter.com.au/news/wa-bans-high-calibre-firearms-and-ammunition...

From a post on AHN,
“ Despite all the frustration we experience in WA at present, I have now added to my Collectors licence three beautiful flintlocks.

- a Pedersoli Brown Bess and bayonet.
- A Neil Fields Green River 20G Fowler
- A Neil Fields Green River Kentucky Rifle.

The WA Licencing schemozzle meant I have surrendered a couple of rubbishy ones. A club mate of 40 years standing had to give up these lovely Neil Fields works of art. The locks have rollers on the frizzen springs and 'rainproof' pan fences. The Kentucky has an afterwards added dummy pachbox cover, hand engraved and added
by a skilled WA stockmaker.

Another member has been trimming his holdings and I wanted and eventually acquired the Bess for my talks and demonstrations at the club.

The circus for getting them approved to a Collectors licence I have had for 25 years was very educational.‘

The three firearms mentioned are single shot muzzle loading guns and the Brown Bess is a replica of the arms carried on the First Fleet in 1788.
Western Australia will be a safer place when the current batch of ruling Idiots are gone from politics.

Make up your mind.
People do have a right to have a firearm.

SFA....WA makes it's own laws concerning firearms dickhead....The legislation sets out the minimum requirement in the regulation of firearms....Nothing in the agreement prevents juristrictions from addopting additional - including more restrictive - regulations....So what is it you are complaining about dickhead???

Huh
