Ban.

From the NFA,
‘’ 6. Jurisdictions will ban the sale, resale, transfer, possession, manufacture and use of those semi-automatic long arms and pump action shotguns included in Licence Category C and D other than in the following exceptional circumstances:
[a]military use
[b]police or other government purposes
[c]occupational categories of licence holders who have been licensed for a specified purpose, including
I extermination of animals
ii.film and theatrical armourers
iii.firearm dealers
iv.firearm manufacturers
v.additional occupational needs and other limited purposes as authorised by legislation or Ministerial discretion
[d]collectors
[e] in the case of Category C shotguns
members of the Australian Clay Target Association or clubs affiliated with the Australian Clay Target Association with a medical need to use a Category C shotgun due to a lack of strength or dexterity, or
ii.
individuals who were on 15 November 1996 registered shooters with the Australian Clay Target Association and who, at that time, possessed a semi-automatic shotgun or pump action repeating shotgun for use in clay target events’’.

‘’Banned’’ except for all the exceptions which means the arms mentioned are not banned but restricted.

Just another example of the sloppiness of the NFA.

Lax wording of Acts by both State and Federal law has led to many a lawyer being able to afford a yacht.

Example, the NSW Traffic Act authorised both STOP and HALT signs, until a solicitor, representing a motorist who didn’t stop at a HALT sign, pointed out that the HALT sign was in German and that his client didn’t know German but he always stopped at STOP signs as they were in English and that was his client’s native language.
Result was that he got his client off and all HALT signs were taken down, never to be seen again.
