The pen is mightier than the sword. If the pen is used to order more swords.

Wasn’t private originally. Now it is.
I don’t think that’s a good sign.

From memory, not particularly good memory.
I think it was Australian sporting agencies referring to the ongoing ****** selling their products in NSW.
That’s the biggest market for them.
I believe they claimed they were winning said ******. But with video removed that’s not really encouraging or perhaps just not to be discussed publicly atm

I think I saw this video 2-3 weeks ago, was it a company that was making their own rifle (the Eureka or something?)

I think the de-regulation was in regards to guns that had the tactical look to them which are banned in NSW?

I think it was sifa in general petitioning for change.
NSW has an odd law regarding length of pull.
Cannot be manipulated or adjusted in any way.
I believe NSW is the only place worldwide that does this.
And obviously manufacturers don't always adhere to that.
There is no official explanation.
But rumour has it this dates back to the white Australia policy.
Italian and Greek immigrants post ww11 had relatively longer torsos and shorter limbs. As they still do today. People of Mediterranean descent require a shorter length of pull

I saw the video, it basically said they were trying to get the Eureka un-banned in NSW so they met with a NSW MP and someone high up in the Police.
The result was that NSW would ease up on appearance laws and folding stocks.

The problem I can see with this is that folding stocks are banned by law so it would require parliament to change the law…
