Here's a list published in an article on sportingshooter.com.au
The banned cartridges are:
.340 Weatherby Magnum
.28 Nosler
.330 Dakota
.338 Lapua
.300 Lapua Magnum
.338-404 Jeffery
.338 Norma Magnum
.338-378 Weatherby Magnum
338 Edge
.30-378 Weatherby Magnum

.375 A-Square
.375 Gibbs
.460 Steyr
.375 CheyTac
.416 Barrett
.408 CheyTac

If it's 30 calibre or greater in a .378 Weatherby or greater case seems to be their criteria.
28 Nosler?

The problem with shooters has always been (and what is used against us by "Divide and Conquer") that most will look at that list and think "None of those calibres being banned affects ME.
That's our biggest downfall.

Once this is through and the precedent has been set, expect new lists which will include the more common cartridges like the 308

Do we have any confirmed source for this? If so, this is just orchestrated media manipulation...

Its one thing to push the limits of what is "Not actually a range" on private property, but the guy was asking for trouble.
It might not be the prettiest solution in the world, but if you have too many guns for one safe, just buy another. That rack mounted bulls**t was asking for trouble if he keeps the firearms locked in there - it appears to just be a roller shutter style tool cabinet.
If you want to have your firearms in an open rack with just a cable/chain lock and can afford to build what constitutes a secure armory, you've got the money to set up a firearms repair business to make it legal and have it built to the requisite standards. I'd personally love to do it if I had the disposable income for it.

Zero public support, zero public consultation, zero industry consultation and zero consultation with the public whom will be affected.
Oh and zero consultation in parliament. So zero bipartisan support except greens who will rejoice.
Dont think this is the worst of it either, we are screwed.

Could say the same about your country

We don’t have safeguards. We got jack s**t. We’re a colony not a republic. Technically a prison colony. We have privileges that can be taken away if we misbehave.
And mcClown can hold office indefinitely..
So what it comes down to is, do we have a reason to fear King Charles. And that’s a difficult argument to make. He’s not really very scary.

And yes the constitution would be rewritten by a generation that hasn’t sacrificed or suffered significant hardships or oppression.
It’s not a bad constitution as is anyway.
Latitude37 wrote:All politicians are going to seek more power. The political climate in WA is particularly difficult, with one party holding so many seats. That said, write to your local member, have your friends do the same, etc. I would suggest referring to the NFA wording, and point out that this law is not in accordance with it. I'd also suggest lobbying organisations that look into police conduct. The WA Police have a particularly egregious record wrt the legal and human rights of individuals, particularly people of colour. It's really disturbing to me that their Police Union uses language like " For the safety of themselves and the community, police officers need to have an ‘edge’ over the type of firearms that they may encounter during their job,”
That's really combative, and not the attitude I want from a Police force. They don't need an "edge". They need to be engaged with the community, and part of it.
Also might be an idea to get some key Police Union folks out to a long range shoot so they can see why some people want to challenge themselves with hitting a gong at 1000+ metres.
