Thread: Fit and proper. Be careful

Hmmm https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-...uitted/9018384

So it is not all as it seems, it appears the latest judge is still treating him as though he was guilty of the firearms charges. DUI aside it sounds a little like he is made a scapegoat.

Not at all surprising, even before you link @vulcannz I thought he was being scapegoatted. For a democratic society, the Aussie authorities really hate 'the people' having legally owned firearms. Even more so than the poms I reckon

They must be afraid of something

Despite what a government may say, they are all interested in having power over the people, firearms are a most important threat to governmental power, so a government is always in favor of strengthening this power base.
I am of the opinion the our new Government will not remove this registration folly, but will accept it, blaming the prior government for the trouble it causes.

I can only hope you’re wrong with that last comment.
