Can't reveal my sources, suffice to say the source is very close to those in control. The problems in NSW stem from the proverbial s**t hitting the fan from the Edwards coronial enquiry, the head of FAR at the time being suspected of having a hidden agenda against firearms/owners, (not proven to be fair), inadequate training of FAR staff,
insufficient staff numbers to handle the processing of all applications in a timely manner. Hence FAR was shifted back to Parramatta for closer scrutiny which resulted a far more slower processing time.
My own opinion is that it will get worse before it gets better (if ever). The scuttlebutt around is that in maybe 10 years time there may be no handguns in NSW, maybe Australia as there is a certain element in Government that would like to see Australia go the way the UK went after the Dunblane incident, no more handguns to the public.
I may be, at the present time, be drawing a long bow, and I sure hope I am wrong BUT it is up to you and others to take up the protest via political circles, no good complaining on forums like this as the powers that be most probably are not interested in our forum (shame as they just might learn something constructive).
