Thats BS beyond doubt, banning it because it didnt meet the safety standards?


How? Its another nerf gun, and generally all of them are pretty weak to begin with.

Fair dinkum, all this nanny state bulls**t is becoming depressing, here's a thought, how about we let our kids grow up being kids, getting hurt, dirty, you know all the usual kidstuff instead of wrapping them in cotton wool and telling them they can't do bugger all with anything because there are laws against enjoying yourself as a kid, some of these do-gooders that make all these stuffed up rules must have had a sad childhood and if they did, then they can bugger off with their rules :x

It seems to me that these muppets are making laws/legislation on the fly. It's a ****** joke this country now. 20 years ago it was awesome. It was the lucky country. Time to drop off the grid ova :thumbsup: :clap:

What, give people back the idea of being responsible for their own actions? :sarcasm:

Our sport, whether that be shooting clays, benchrest, target, et all will constantly be under threat from those who view firearms as nothing more than a means to kill thy neighbour, despite no evidence that I've or any person I know would ever resort to such a thing.

You have to keep asking the question "why are certain individuals hell bent on having firearms removed from LAFO's?"

I have ny suspicions, but, I'd be considered a nutter, I imagine?
