Recently read the following article on a web site:

'The Western Australian Police Department has received 500 submissions on possible alterations to the Firearms Act.

Police say the Pastoralists and Graziers Association and the WA Farmers Federation are among the many to have made submissions.

The police are conducting a review of 32 items in the Act, including limiting the number of firearms and amount of ammunition allowed by a licence holder.

The farmers' federation says it wants to prevent licensing becoming too difficult for farmers since guns are an essential tool in agriculture.

Police say farmers' comments are being investigated and the results will be included in a report due to go to the Police Minister by the middle of this year'.
