What the F......!

I thought all guns had to be registered, including air rifles!

Gidday Hairy

As I said, I'm still waiting for further information from the SSAA. The fact that it's come from them is a bit of a concern.

Yes your right. I don't think the general population understands responsible ownership, nor the damage these mongrel animals do in a good season.

PS Where are the photographs?

Kim

Shaker,
Yeh, they do but only if they know about it!

Kim,
Did you go to my photobucket site? I emailed the password to you. Or have you changed email addresses?

Shaker: yes they do since the changes to the law in 1996 - criminals who require firearms for illegal purposes are exempt from this legislation, of course.

The problem is that the harder it's made for responsible people to own firearms the more those responsible people will be inclined to avoid the law.

Mike Harding

...... and hopefully the harder the law will come down on them.

I am far from being a gun wowser, having spent part of working life selling them, but I draw the line at people failing to comply with gun laws, they are in place for a good reason.
Yes, I do know that "if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns"

Hairy

How do I look at a photobucket?

Regards

Kim

did you know that SPUD guns had to be registered also ? ( comes under air rifle .. )

thats why you dont see them in shops like kmart and more

I believe the attack screens banks have may well be classed as a firearm under the Vic act - I keep meaning to write to the minister and request that he enforce the act properly and prosecute the banks for illegal possession of a firearm :)

It's a shame low powered air guns require a licence (they didn't in the UK, last time I was there, which has far stricter firearms laws than Oz) they're provide a lot of family fun for plinking at cans in the back yard and are a good way to teach children respect for and proper use of firearms.

Mike Harding

I could make plenty of suggestions for you .

Tim

Many thanks for that. Can you give me a call during business hours on 97055467. I'd be very interested in supporting your Junior program and assisting with the funding.

Kim

Kim,

96,

My wife took offence to your comment about taking the $$$$.

Although she did get some of the $$$ I received from the Handgun buy-back - but I suppose it was fair - one of the pistols I handed in was her semi-auto hand-gun. :-)




Tim

Gday Tim, You Know the rules . You aways share any money from the sale of a toy,lotto or tatts win or little cashy with your wife.I just wonder why it never works in reverse,and if the belovered buys anew outfit it not a new one '"öh I've had that for ages"' but i must admit to having reduced the buying price of my new 357 when she asked how much it cost . all the best Los

Yep - reminds me of the old saying....

".....when I'm dead and burried, I hope to God that my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them...."

Could be the same for 4by toys too.

"when I'm dead and burried, I hope to God that my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them"

i know what you mean......in addition ...glad i'll be dead when she finds out how many i have...er had

LOS

Fair enough

Here is the e-mail as received and has nothing to do with SSAA fees:

Re. PROPOSED FIREARMS FEES INCREASES SLAMMED BY SHOOTING SPORTS.

Dear members,


The recently released RIS dealing with the proposed new firearms licence fee structure has been condemned by the SSAA as outrageous and punitive in nature. The shooting Sports are already heavily regulated and participants face a series of financial barriers. Increases in charges of 600% and over simply cannot be justified. If these sorts of fee increases were to be applied anywhere else there would be riots in the streets.
Members rest assured that the SSAA is working closely with the CFCV and the FCC to stop this unfair action from being implemented. We will take appropriate measures to ensure that the interests of our members are protected.

Regards

Bob Cooper
President

Regards

Kim

I guess you dont like shooting as a sport

Never held a gun in my life.

You'd better complain about my post regarding printers Richard and the one asking about VOIP and there was another about....

wasnt asking you truckie
but you should try it...it can be fun and if you take it up seriously target shooting is a mentallly demanding sport...so can feral pest destruction be and which i generally physically demanding

I agree with you I really enjoy pistol shooting and Truckie if you are ever in WA contact me and I will take you down to our club for a few shots most people are are enjoy their first gun experience in a controlled enviroment All the best Los

Los
what disciplines do you shoot

Hi Richard,
where does not shooting and hunting not become part of 4WD / Camping and so on?

Many a good family outing has been had over a bunny being cooked over the camp fire.

It is sites like this that may have never kicked off only for the input of licenced shooters.

Who helps keep our forests and ranges free from feral animals? do you?

Who helps to do scientific tests on feral animals ? do you?

Who helps to keep count of what feral animals are in forests? do you?

No. 1

why not sort it out with the SSAA, not post it in this site?

Nothing to do with sport

Hi Mike

the info has nothing to do with the site, guns that is,printer and VOIP (not sure what that is) but how could I print off your very informative post if I didn't have a printer?

96

at 5 yoa I could kill a bunny with my bare hands, while picking up the ferret up by the tail... LOL

Done my time with guns, can shoot, but when I moved over to WA and after Pt Arther I hand back my VIC. Licence sold what guns (or destroyed) what guns where registered, gave the others to collectors (hells angles I think) ... ;-)

nothing to do with what you,re trying to say

Your responses make little or no sense Richard. They merely seem to demonstrate an irrational hatred of firearms.

Mike Harding

Mike

I never make sense, hatred if a BIG word maybe dislike, and of the grandstander's who use them and sprook about them.. it's a bit cock in hand stuff

Richard Kovac

Kim...to keep Kovac happy (so he doesnt have read Off Topic subjects) please put OT at the beginning when starting a new post.....

Gidday No 1

In future I'll publish the following disclaimer prior to the actual post. Two day's notice.... what'd reckon?

We can't be upsetting the Tender Nettles, can we:

'On the (date) I Intend to post, what could construed as off tropic, contentious in it's subject matter, a whole load of dribble or just a bit of good humoured banter'

LOL

Regards

Kim

Now Kim you're starting to show your true colours

and Richard no-name I think you're already been told this month... LOL

Regards

Richard Kovac

Gidday Richard

Don't take the reply too seriously mate. Just having a bit of a dig.

On to other things, where is The Brewery Sandstone and what is the history of the tunnel? I've never heard of it.

Regards

Kim

Check out this link The Brewery Sandstone WA

I think Kim is referring to the cost of registering a firearm with the relevant government department.

Mike Harding

Derek

I've just received this reply back from the Ssaa (Bob Cooper)

'Kim, The most expedient way to view the proposed fee increase is to go to www.cfcv.org.au and then “current news” and then “Police Minister seeks 660%+….” and click on the line for more information.

The latest news is that VFCC (Victorian Firearms Consultative Committee) of which SSAA is a member yesterday put forward for the Ministers consideration that a 2.5% increase across the board would be palatable to all concerned and raise the required revenue. Submissions on other issues will follow and we are reasonably confident that common sense will prevail. Regards, Bob.

kim

Thanks for that Kim .

Always trying to more from the shooter
