As of January 18, 2024, the Tasmanian Police Commissioner Donna Adams has revoked the exemption allowing pre-1901 muzzleloading and other antique firearms to be held without a licence or associated rigamarole.
Effectively immediately, these have been declared to be “firearms” and are now required to be licensed, registered, and locked in a gun safe.
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS AND THERE IS NO “BUYBACK” OR
COMPENSATION BEING OFFERED.

This could spread to the rest of Australia, & this is serious stuff ! Is anything being done to crush this legislation?
