When someone claiming to be indigenous but is not & steals a firearm in a break-in then the weapon owner gets fined but not the thief. Well, in Qld anyway ! Civil Libertarians boss said "Sorry, cant help, we're batting for the other team" !

Of course the three that you mention were law abiding citizens, they were judged so by the Commissioner of Police, in the case of Edwards the gun clubs would not accept him until overridden by the Commissioner.
Suggest you take it up with the Commissioner.

SSAA membership stands at 212,142 as of October 2022 (audited financial members) if the SSAA ever gets political then you’ll have something to worry about.

Hi Ho again Issy,

"Of course the three that you (Paul1405) mention were law abiding citizens", I say no, they were licensed gun owners and not law abiding, puts to lie the claim that legal gun ownership is limited to law abiding citizens. I would agree as an ideal that is a fine aspiration, but the reality is somewhat different. At one time Al Capone would be judged a law abiding citizen, making Al eligible for a gun licence under S&H and SSAA criteria. There is however a failure of the system which allows non-law abiding citizens to hold a gun licence. Can you explain this; non-law abiding citizens holding gun licences.

explain this; non-law abiding citizens holding gun licences.
Paul1405,
Well, the most likely reason would be incompetent, Leftie supporting bureaudroids (familiar to you ?) not doing what they should be doing i.e. look at applications one by one instead of throwing them into the approved basket without looking !
Some of that blood is on their hands !

They were law abiding citizens when they were licensed.
Turnbull wss a primary producer, a class of citizen that the Greens and Gun Control Australia agree should be able to have firearm licenses and Train was a citizen well respected in the community and considered to be an outstanding school teacher.
Edwards is the only doubtful one and gun clubs rejected him until they were over ruled by the Police Commissioner, as you, by now well know.

In the cases of Edwards and Train all the warning signs were ther but no one in authorit chose to heed them they chose instead to ignore.

Anyway firearms laws will probably be redundant twenty years hence.
The advances in electronics and miniaturisation will see to that.
