Is Mise,

You asked for one example?

In NSW a 2008 amendment to the firearms act was
passed by the government and the shooters and
fishers party which allowed people to enter a
gun club and begin shooting without a licence
and the previous 28 day background check.

This allowed a young girl to shoot her father
dead after she walked out of a pistol club with
a semi-automatic pistol and ammunition. She was
able to begin shooting despite suffering from
a mental illness and paranoid delusions.

You should go back and track the erosion of
Australia's gun laws that were listed in the
timeline of the link I gave earlier. It gives
the specifics of what was done and the dates
which you can then follow up on the web for
further specifics.

Each Australian state has eroded its gun laws,
and chiselled away the safeguards. This is not
surprising. The gun clubs and organisations
have deep pockets.

In any case I know that no matter what I say -
you shall reject it. I shall leave you to
it.

If you are genuinely interested in how
Australia's gun laws have been eroded - there
is so much on the web - all you have to do
is find the time and the inclination to search.

Foxy,

"In NSW a 2008 amendment to the firearms act was

fishers party which allowed people to enter a

and the previous 28 day background check."

This is still the case and the fact that supervision was lax and that she was a thief has nowt to do with erosion of the law.
Allowing people to try the sport, after filling in the appropriate forms, was a logical step in shewing that the laws were not there to make life hard; the change meant that people no longer needed to go the full distance of obtaining a licence before they found out that the sport didn't suit them.
The 28 day wait was waived for subsequent purchases after the licence holder had bought their first firearm, it was considered unnecessary as the police had already done a check.
This was the removal of an anomaly that strengthened the law.

As far as your assertion that the shooting fraternity don't want uniform law across Australia is concerned, you are plain wrong.
Firearm owners want uniform laws and the recognition of their licence Australia wide.
This would get rid of such stupid situations where a person hunting on a property, with the owner's written permission commits an offence by crossing the State Border when that border runs through the property.
Or the utterly stupid WA law that deems a fired cartridge case to be ammunition when in every other State it is considered to be no more than a scrap piece of brass.
Some women wear a cartridge belt with chromed or otherwise plated fired cartridge cases in it as a fashion accessary, in WA they'd face prosecution.

Foxy,

I took your advice and am working my way through the time line
"2008 SA weakens gun laws..."
so I went on the web as you advised and I found,
www.abc.net.au/news/2008-03-05/tough-new-gun-laws-for-sa/1063106
An article on the tough new gun laws in SA.

Does this mean that toughening the gun laws is not going against the NFA?

I'll keep you informed of my progress.

whom are they most likely to shoot?
Pul1405,
That's a pointless question because you didn't give a scenario in which gun owners might the need to use a gun.
To my thinking anyone holding a gun will pull the trigger if they feel they're in serious danger. It's irrelevant who or what the person is.

Is Mise,

I have nothing further to add on this subject.
Except that I cannot take you seriously anymore.
You've lost all credibility as far as I am concerned.

Foxy bows out again; tell me before you go, why do you continually make typos when giving links?
