I just had a good thought, cyclists have to wear helmets and rec. Fishing ppl nesc to wear life vests, boating ppl nesc to take a beacon and wear life vests, motorsports ppl wear helmets and even hans devices. So why can't our rifles wear sound moderators

Be careful what you ask for and why. We dont need any more rules let Darwin sort it out. what you are proposing will end up with a rule that shooters must wear ear protection or else be fined.

The bill by Victorian SFFP MP Jeff Borman to legalise suppressors, is before the Victorian parliament, debate on the bill has been adjourned and is due to be debated on the 27 of this month, it would be worthwhile for Victorian shooters to attend in support, politics is a numbers game, if something has enough support, it is likely to succeed, shooters need to get in and help themselves by standing up and be seen in numbers that suggest we are a force to be reckoned with.

How has the talks been going so far magnum? Once it's in one state it will make it easier for the rest of us I would think.

They used to be legal in SA, but then again Full Auto was legal in TAS at the same time. I wouldn't be holding my breath.

It will all come down to numbers, if shooters got behind the SFFP in greater numbers, these type of issues would be easier to get a positive result on, and yes you are spot on, if they manage to get this through in Victoria, it will influence other states. :thumbsup:

I have a feeling that all these pleas for legalised suppressors will fall on deaf ears.

Yep, with anything to do with sensible firearm law amendments, we are fighting against great odds, you are better placed in NSW as you have two in the upper house and one in the lower, if you can get a couple more in the lower house after the next election, things will improve. :thumbsup:

Fair call, Sungazer. No war vets in our club, though. Just long time shooters.
