Banned rifles in WA

[nords]

I know this comes up with blokes here looking at the Taurus Circuit Judge and if they can (nope ) get one here or not.

Bit of mixed answers in the past as for what's in and what's out. Found this through another page, straight from the WA regs for my fellow WA shooters.

FIREARMS REGULATIONS 1974 - REG 26B

I wouldn't be buying anything that looks tactical, pistol grip etc, they've been going around and collecting (ie taking) the Colt M2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL50wLf2vw4 there's a thread about it on AHN. Basically people are been given the option of handing it in with no compensation or selling it to a gunshop or modding the stocks all because it looks "Military" or resembles a auto or some crap like it

I think its the spiral fluted bolt that tipped it over the edge of legality makes it a lot more tactical...and daaaangerous.
or alternatively WAPOL are outsourcing their firearm classifying to Vicpols 2IC, Fontana, 'cause he know his fully automatic* rifles when he sees them!

Yeah seen that one before, bloody embarrassing performance by that officer, fancy sending someone like him to talk about firearms related matters when he's clearly got SFAI on the subject, just confirms the incompetence of those who make these sort of decisions, one surely would have asked do you know anything about the subject matter and further more one would have thought ol mate would have mentioned to the superiors that he has SFAI about firearms and it might have been prudent to find someone who does!

No wonder people have very little faith in the system when this is the best they can do.

I think I mentioned on another thread covering the matter, but I'm quite sure he knows exactly what a bolt action looks like and is well aware of the difference between a self loading, automatic and repeating rifle. he came unstuck when he didnt realise the vision WOULD END UP ON YOUTUBE.

The standard operating procedure of these guys is to instill FEAR into the community.

The only "Fear" I got out of it was the fact that these people come across as clueless, that to me is something to "Fear"

Hit someone with the muzzle and you might scratch them with that spiral!

Like hitting them in the place, undertaking an insertion and as it reaches the breach, the spiral it will scratch them.

In such cases a straight flute is recommended

This implies that they should have independent thought ! They don't ! They choose this kind of person purposely because they just do as they are told , have no personal knowledge to tell if it's the right or wrong thing and are just yes sir robots .
