I find the current PTA system a joke as well. We already jump through all the hoops the government demands of us, background checks etc, and gain permission to own and use firearms when we get our licence, then we have to ask for permission to purchase a firearm, again. Seems to be a very unnecessary waste of everyones time and our money.
I'm all for licencing, registration etc, but if I have government authorisation to own and use a certain category of firearm then I should be able to freely purchase those firearms at will.
Appearance laws are ridiculous and should be thrown out. Imagine the outrage from the car enthusiasts if all of a sudden they had to have their cars crushed because they looked a little too much like race cars, and of course racing cars on public streets is dangerous.
