It is almost impossible to get a shooters licence in Australia these days. Well not impossible, but bloody hard. Unless you own a farm, have access to a farm, or are a member of a gun club, forget it. I come from the land, but don't really have access to a large enough farm to shoot on anymore.
We are not allowed to own anything semi-automatic, which means I lost a really nice A5 Browning. Not happy....
Friends lost all sorts of things...dozens of rifles and shotguns. All because of the nutter at Port Arthur in Tasmania.
Sporting shooters lost the right to own a variety of guns because of criminals. The stupid part is, now the law abiding citizens cannot enjoy their sport anymore, but there are more firearms related offences than there was before the bans took place.
It was almost worth losing our weapons to see out idiot Prime Minister turn up to a SSAA (Sportin Shooters Assoc Aust)meeting with a flak jacket under his sports coat. The SSAA people were offended naturally enough, the rest of us thought it was hilarious. No one in their right mind would waste a bullet on the inept little prick...
Cheers
