Facepalm indeed.

Page 148;

New-generation air rifles are capable of using a standard 12- and 16-round circular magazine (when chambered in .177 or .22 pellet projectiles) and can outshoot a Ruger semi-automatic 10/22 model semi-automatic model rifle chambered in .22 long rifle calibre. The Ruger 10/22 rifle is a Category C firearm that is restricted to primary producers and registered professional vermin shooters and can only have a magazine capacity of 10 rounds.

Allowing the licensing of these air rifles contradicts the reasoning for restricting self-loading rimfire rifles similar to the Ruger 10/22. Consequently, shooters can now licence a firearm of equal capabilities to a restricted category rimfire firearm under the classification of Category A without any restriction or conditions associated to the licence.




Obviously the streets are running red with the blood of so many victims, given that shooters can now licence this new technology that supersedes the Ruger.... and of course all farmers have dumped their old tech 22 semis

Note the use of the word 'shooter' which I would take in the pejorative sense in this context.... it should be licensees. or appropriately licensed individuals, but maybe thats just me, expecting a token of respect and more intelligent language from a board of lawyer/barrister commissioners....




I'm struggling to believe no Westerners have an opinion about 'public' lands proposed to be available to ONLY Aboriginal shooters No association necessary, can have a title claim or not, just prove you're of Aboriginal blood, and you're good to go.... so if 2 blokes walk into the relevant department, one's white, one's black (or could even be white for that matter) the one who claims aboriginal status can hunt, while whitey cant..... anywhere else that would be classed as racist, certainly of the tables were turned.

If it means getting separating their stupid laws from the rest of us so they can't creep into other states they can go as far as I'm concerned

[Varmtr]

WA cut up the dotted line and float it free.

How stupid air rifle cat D.

12 air rifle pellets, omfg the children!

[Tim Edwards]

Is there anything we can do about this? Or are we just going to lose our Air Rifles
When I spoke to the police they said there won't be a buy back just confiscation without compensation

[Title_II]

Wow. I just caught that Ruger 10/22s are banned? That's a sin!

[Joom]

12 air rifle pellets, omfg the children!

Yeah they might have fun! Can't have that.

[Gwion]

Not banned; just beyond the reach of anyone who does not meet requirements to be a a Cat C licence holder.

Comment on the document, contact your MP.....tell them what you think about their proposed 'ideas'

If there is no outcry, it will slide into the law books....the cat D air rifles bizzo along with all other crap including allowing Aboriginals to hunt on public lands simply due to the colour of their skin.... when whitey cant... simple as that. Is that racist? No, it would only be racist if the law proposal was the other way.

Maybe all WA shooters can line up down the border and put a few rounds into the ground to break away

But with 223s, that would take forever


Better option, we get Gina Rinehart to stand in the middle and sit by until WA seperates itself. Then while it's floating away, all the shooters can race over to victoria and tassie.

[Title_II]

It's like your California. How come all the crazies end up over on the west coast? I think it's because that's as far as they can go.

As they are already, trying to be as left as possible.

Every little bit helps?

[<<Genesis93>>]

I was wondering where this got to .....nothing on the WA state gov law website;

http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/Index.html

Nothing related to the Firearm Act review,

I did notice a prominent link at bottom centre to the Bill of Rights, if interested go to page 2 item 7

[sandgroperbill]

Submissions closed a little while back, nothing since.

In other news, they're not currently accepting license applications as they've taken down the old registry and are bringing the new registry and and application system online. So there is a two week delay/black hole with applications atm

[<<Genesis93>>]

Not accepting licence applications? I dont think they can 'not accept' applications, usually the wording of the legislation does not allow for a will not issue if 'inconvenient' provision....

Just imagine if the Roads Authority put out a notice to say 'so' sorry, we wont be issuing licences 'for a while'....

[Trigger wise]

Aboriginals can only hunt in there traditional country so I can't hunt in any other state or any other region that I have no traditional link to and because kangaroos and emus are on the coat of arms they are protected and the rest of the wildlife and fauna unless on so called private property so in other words the bush lands is like our private land camping bush walking and wildlife and fauna are for all to enjoy except hunting in this country has been done for thousand of years and is our custom and tradition in our boundaries which is fair enough
