It's not only firearms. I'm in the electrical game and I ask questions to interprete standards concerning importation of electrical equipment, so I can electrically test and tag it. When I ask I get the roundabout, when I ask directly in black and white I just get ignored.
The first time I get it wrong I have no doubt every bastard concerned will know exactly what I got wrong. The long and the short of the problem is the government doesn't want to be sued, it is up to prosecution through the courts to sort.
Oh Fark sorry not being political it's just the system is court basedQuote:

Makes me feel like getting another outa bloody mindeness,
Dead right there, I'm in the process of applying for a temp firearms license in Australia, filled out the state police application form and when they issue the license they will also issue an import permit but aussie customs want a tree's worth of paperwork to fill out. Spent many hours on the phone to get sorted but can see if you get it wrong you lose your firearms and potentially get smacked a huge fine.Quote:

Hello
I didn't emigrate from the country with the worlds most ill-thought and restrictive firearms laws to not get a semi automatic rifle here!
No way!

Yep, Read the editorial in the latest GUNS&GAME magazine. New South Wales has passed a Ammunition Control Legislation.
Found info on the legislation here: Firearms Amendment (Ammunition Control) Bill 2012 - NSW Parliament
In the Editors own words "quote" "This legislation is all about annoying and frustrating gun owners, making it harder to use firearms so that you just give up and go and do something else. It is another veiled attempt to try and force people to reduce the number of guns in society as a means of gun control" "unquote"
In summary the bill requires a permit to purchase ammunition, which proves you own a firearm that takes said ammunition and a paper trail to show for the distribution and purchase of the said ammunition.
I cant see what that achieves....unless its a way to make more money through getting the permit. Unless unlike us right now they dont need a FAL to buy ammo?
Likely to up the cost of ammo, coz someone isgoingtohave to pay for the paperwork and beaurocracy...
Yes....mate at work thinks his archery club will see more and more ppl hunting with a bow to avoid the costs. 54R AX ammo just jumped to $43 for 20 in my local shop....I dont think I'll be buying it there....Quote:

Interesting to note the use of the words;"......Police also recommend removal of a part of the gun (such as the bolt) which will ensure that if it is stolen at least the gun can not be used by the thief or any other criminal who may acquire it....."
AS OPPOSED TO,
".......Police also require the removal of a part of the gun (such as the bolt)..........................
Sadly, another example of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing......................
In NSW you always needed a FAL to buy goddam airgun pellets. I wouldn't be surprised if they require a body cavity search and pre-emptive tazing (just to remind you who is the boss)Quote:
