If they really are Nash's words then he has contradicted himself to all FAL holder's. Using this case to set legal precedent? No thanks.

I see he mentioned the same old backwards meaning rhetoric that police policy implies:

"It's a privilege to have a firearms licence, not a right, and we need to ensure that those that do have the ability to own a firearm meet the good character test," Nash said. "Any time a decision like this is made for the first time, that can set a legal precedent judges can follow."

Hasn't taken him long to be brain-washed has it.

@Cordite the Andrew Hore case seems like double standards to me.
