Okay so first of all, only a 3 months Minimum is a stupid idea as the theft of items that CAN cause bodily harm like any other tool is stupid. If someone is caught with a stolen firearm, Make it a Minimum a year or two as you DO NOT intend on doing anything productive for the community so you should not be apart of the community!
Caps on firearms will only hinder businesses like the paintball business in Launceston and anyone who wishes to work in the security line of work. Only Australian citizens should be able to have firearm licenses while GUESTS to the state who wish to hunt should be able to have some kind of guest pass if they are hunting for our Feral Deer or other feral animals.

Any attempt at pushing restrictions only comes at punishing law abiding firearm owner which is what you guys claim not to be doing.

Now onto another thing: Paintball and another sport, Airsoft. We are FAR too strict on paintball as a licensing and ownership related issue. We should look into lowering what Paintball is and have a catagory that allows people to own and possess their own Paintball rifles. As for Airsoft, this is a ridiculous law and that we are not allowed to have it as a sport here is stupid. For crying out loud the nanny nation United Kingdom allows it and they have a ban on most firearms.
