Why bother talking about stuff your never going to get and as for before 1996 semi-autos were still band as it was Julian Knight and his Hoddle Street massacre that was responsible for the banning of semi-autos .
Up until then this country really never had a problem proving it's not a gun issue it's what's between the ears of the average Australian unfortunately these days that is sadly lacking .

womble wrote:Victoria has’nt really changed much, you needed written permission from a property to get a permit for centrefire semi-auto.
Now you need to charge the farmer money to own one, or own the property.
But yes you could buy an sks in the mail from Qld, plus cheap boxes ex military ammo.. and then convert it to full auto etc etc.
Or you could just take the ferry to Tassie and buy anything you wanted really. RPG’s, etc. no i made that up. Or did i haha
Stuff like claymores, grenades, slr’s. Well you know, army cadets, cashies on the weekend.

Centrefire semi auto? As in cat D? Can a primary producer in Vic apply for and get a cat D license now?

Of course we won’t. Times halves changed and people have have changed.
Hoddle street was 1987. In Victoria you could still own a centerfire semi-auto up until 1996. However you needed a permission letter from a property you could shoot it on to go with your pta.
High powered sem-auto rifles were’nt really that common in victoria believe it or not. Because not so much use for them. Ruger 10/22 everyone had one. Semi and pump shotguns were popular. We’ve never had the feral pig problem like qld has and our properties are’nt so large.
High powered semis were cheap chinese rubbish mostly. The cheap ammo was fmj so not so great for hunting in vic. Deer hunters owned bolt actions for accuracy.
Shotshells were expensive for the average bloke so most people did’nt like to waste them having fun with semi-auto shotguns either.
Today i would’nt own a high powered semi rifle either where i live because i really have no use for it. If i lived in Qld i would, or tablelands nsw.
And it’s not “what’s between the ears of the average Australian” as you put it that’s the problem.
It’s the radicalised or deranged Australian that’s the problem. https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/security/asio-boss-warns-terror-attack-likely-within-a-year-rightwing-extremism-growing/news-story/f9752157ac863aaef419f394a30fcbfe
And these groups are showing up in victoria now, so we can probably expect the same crap nsw gun owners have to deal with here soon too.
To summarise, i would like to be allowed to own a high powered semi if i wanted one.
If i lived or worked on a property in rural Qld or nsw i would be allowed to own one. So I really truly have nothing to complain about.
But if not being allowed one living where i do now. And city retards cant get them. If it may prevent another brenton Tarrant acting out on Aussie soil. Then I’m perfectly ok with the current ban on them. 100%
It’s not the average Australian that’s the problem . It’s dumb c*nts on internet forums preaching hatred and bigotry for minorities and women that are the problem. That’s why the rest of us can’t always have what we want.
It’s really very very simple. If i can own one, then f*cking Brendon can own one. So no, i don’t want to be able to own one. Because f*ck Brenton.
I’m simply not willing to share that “freedom” with him. I won’t do it and you can’t make me. And that my friends is true freedom and why our country is the best
