Well I suppose Paul1405 just really cares about gun owners ;) .

Paul,
A target.
Now you tell me which gun laws have been eroded.

Is Mise,

At present control of firearms is fragmented
between eight different Australian jurisdictions.
The Commonwealth controls the importation of
firearms and ammunition and the States and
Territories regulate the sale, purchase, possession
and storage of firearms.

While some States and Territories have moved to amend
the firearm laws and comply with recommendations,
others have lagged behind in some jurisdictions eroding
the gun laws. For example:

* Minors can obtain a firearms licence

* A firearm licence is valid for life

* there is no specific requirement relating to the
mental or physical condition of the applicant for a
licence

* there is no limit on the number of guns that can be
held by a particular owner

* automatic firearms can be owned by collectors or
for the purpose of film production

* semi-automatic weapons can be legally owned

* there is no restriction on ammunition sales

* not all firearms need to be registered

There is no uniform national firearm legislation in
Australia. Therein lies the problem and it should be
a concern for us all. And fo course that suits the
anti-gun controllers and gun clubs to a tee. Hence
their donations to political parties to keep it that
way.

You're right Foxy, these laws are crazy.

Seeing as it is so easy for any criminal to obtain any gun on the black market, we should abolish all gun laws, so law abiding citizens can get one just as easily.

Foxy,
Just shew me one firearm law that has been eroded, so far you haven’t done so.
All the things that you put forward have been covered by the NFA since it’s inception.

It’s true that Minors can get a firearm permit but that permit does not allow them to purchase a firearm or ammunition, nor to own one.
It permits them to be trained in the use of a firearm and to take part in competition under LICENCED SUPERVISION, not as you imply by your brief reference.

Now here's a solution to gun violence

http://www.sfexaminer.com/news/a-local-solution-for-gun-violence-pay-people-300-a-month/

"San Francisco thinks it may have an answer for its rising gun violence problem: Paying people to not pull the trigger.

The idea is to provide the small number of San Franciscans who authorities believe are most at risk of shooting someone — or being shot — with an incentive to get help and stay out of trouble. It’s a solution that proponents say already has shown promise preventing gun crimes in other parts of California."

Locally the knife is preferred,
"In 2020, most homicide and related offences:

occurred at a residential location (61% or 241 victims)
involved the use of a weapon (59% or 232 victims), most commonly a knife (116 victims)"

Seems that the gun laws are working, perhaps it's time to try the California solution on the knife problem.
