Weasel words.
You can bet that "temporarily recategorise firearms", if applied, will be temporary permanent.

The SSAA official email has cone out. The person writing it is very connected. Therefore if they are claiming nothing will change regarding caps or reclassification then I believe it until the election at least.

Ken Lay review provides little evidence to support any changes and if I had to sum it up, it Vic should align with NSW. It is pretty clear now where his agenda was. It irritates me when they continually mention some respondents support their proposals. Because i can guarantee that the majority didn't. Ill need to read again as I didn't see in the multi choice what the split was on those answers were.

Police treat it as an OH&S issue - they don't want armed people (whether it's legal or illegal) and they definitly have an agenda to push.

There were a number of anti-gun groups pushing their agenda too, I saw one greenie anti hunting group sharing the same survey link and encorugaging others to fill it out with their anti-gun views.

I know this is JA/Labor saying/doing what they need to before an election, I sincerly hope all the blue collar peopel who usually vote labor and planned on changing this election see through the bulls**t and vote them out.

They've always had the power to reclassify as its state based. Whatever the enhanced powers means I don't know but if the commissioner is asked by the government to change it, they can under existing legislation.

[mchughcb]

The vast majority - 85% didn't want changes to current categories. But Ken Lay report recommends the government to consider changes anyway.

Very interesting, those arsehole non-users trying to sway opinion.

Don't have a gun, no vote on guns!

Would love to see suppressors legalised

[mchughcb]

Non users can have a say. The reality is Lay recommended things that 85% didn't want anyway.

[MG5150]

You're right, my non gun owners shouldn't have a say comment was reactive and short-sighted>_<

[mchughcb]

The reality most people are only interested in any cause if it affects them personally. Therefore with 19800 respondents, most of the people responding it affects them personally. Most people are only interested in a topic if their right is being taken away as opposed to people who are only interested to take other people's rights away.

The majority couldn't give a poop. They don't use guns, don't see guns, don't care.

I will assume based on no evidence that 95% of non gun owners do not even know the laws.

They might know you need a licence but thats about it.
