Thread: Arms Act 2025 consultation submissions

irrespective of those vested interests - you have the opportunity to make suggestions on a new set of Laws - use that opportunity wisely and cross your finger that many other firearms folk will also.

Maybe in the Burbs, out here they are still rolling with the old black GU patrols and a few commodore wagons.

If you fail to get a WoF, the penalty isn't losing your drivers licence as a result, even though your actions / negligence puts other road users at risk of injury or death. I'd also like to see clear legislation about when a firearm or ammunition is no longer such, as far as deactivated wall hangers go, and rounds for display or collection that can't be fired. And just so we are all clear on things, words matter, and definitions that are clear and unambiguous keep the courts from overflowing.

Yet there

Good points around the general rule that if we don't toe the line then we are automatically failed

I'll be emphasising that as well as there not being a clear path for unregistered guns to get on the list easily so they exclude a whole sector by keeping them in the grey

Also I would point out that they are skating on thin ice already in terms of keeping us inside the tent - as best I have found out the estimate is that the confiscation got 15 to 20 percent of the semiautos out there so with their clampdown on us legal FAL owners then they are are creating a black market
Whatever one's views may be on that they are probably political so i will ask you to keep them to yourselves but still note that if they say that they want better gun legislation then creating a black market is not doing what it says on the tin

I would invite them to make FAL usage easier for qualified people and also reinforce the promise laid down back in the Thorp report that Licensing should be taken away from the Police
