Poorly written and far too expansive that it has no chance of ever passing.
It would have been smarter instead of calling for a blanket repealing of our gun laws to suggest Cat C firearms should be legalised for sport shooters, or to suggest .22lr semi-auto rifles should be in Cat A or B, or to suggest that because pump-action shotguns and lever action shotguns are basically the same they should be both be Cat A or B, or that the NFA is dead and each state should make their own gun laws without respect to it because only a few states have complied with the lever-action shotgun reclassification among a myriad of other non-compliances, or that self-defence should be a valid reason to own a firearm, or that registration should be removed for Cat A and B guns because that's (basically) what they do in New Zealand, or that the handgun restrictions should be removed, or that guns should be allowed to be used for any legal reason rather than what it says on your PTA, or that Cat D should be allowed under the same conditions we currently allow Cat H because that's (basically) what they do in New Zealand. Suggest one or two of these at a time, prioritising the ones that get back the largest range of firearms the fastest.
(large) Baby steps, not "lets get rid of all gun licensing and be like the US" as much as I would prefer it. You have to be realistic. This is just going to be throw in the nearest bin.
