Default Qld Govt is planning further restrictions to gun-owners

The Queensland Government is planning to introduce further restrictions on law-abiding shooters.

No section of the shooting fraternity is safe. You must stand up for your Rights – Today! Below are the planned restrictions:

1. Participation requirements for Category C shotguns
Why? No one knows. But we presume to make it more difficult for licensees to keep their licenses and guns.

2. The fitting of trigger locks to guns already kept in gun safes
Why? No one knows, but we hope the criminals with their unregistered and illegal guns use a trigger lock.

3. Introduction of a Hierarchy of Storage Controls
Why? So the Government can easily prosecute people whom, through no fault of their own, have had their firearms stolen.

4. Registration of deactivated category A & B, and Antique and Historical Firearms
Why? No one knows.

5. Registration of replica handguns
Why? No one knows. Better get rid of those nasty water pistols and cap guns.

6. Enlargement of the discretionary powers of the Authorised Officer
Why? No one knows.

7. Criminalise the possession of magazines for firearms you don’t own
Why? No one knows.

8. Licensing cost increases – unreasonably high
Why? Revenue raising.

What to do next, Click on the FAQ button above (on the main menu) thoroughly read the information then politely but firmly e-mail the Government using the link provided at the end of the FAQ page.
