A small minority are burdened with a slight inconvenience for the greater good. Sounds like a step in the right direction to me.
Ideally they should DNA spray all ammo at each step of the supply chain, importer, wholesaler to dealer to customer. There would then be a unique combination of data to track it's history.
Crank up the jail time for anyone caught importing/posessing black market ammo.
Life would be simpler for the cops.
The restriction sound like a good idea to me.
It will come in and legal shooters will adapt to it.
Its an Australian way of doing it. We are adaptable
Sod it, I'll change my mind and agree with everyone else :
Ban Jetskis
Require bicycle riders to have a licence to ride
Allow anyone to purchase any type of munitions they so wish
Legalise all drugs
Criminalise global drug companies that manufacture medicines
Bring down all Governments and institutions because they restrict my freedoms
Lock anyone up for life the instant they sneeze out of line
Don't vote for Abbott because he is too right wing
Wait for some faceless faction bosses to decide who is the Prime Minister of Australia for next week
oh - and get up Mark_Australia for having 'extreme' views
Canada has a considerably higher gun:population ratio than the US. There's some other reason why the seppos like shooting each other.
Whether you like guns or not, you should be against further unnecessary gummint intrusion into law abiding citizens' lives.
Again, its a piece of legislation that the criminals will ignore (like the rest) and seriously handicaps many law-abiding people. Im arguing that the government should consult and think up some stratagies that might actually have an effect, instead of going for the cheap shot and just be looking like they're helping.
I think comparing the US to here is a bit of a stretch, much greater organised crime and some gun laws that even I'd say were too lax. Canada is the better comparison.
Rod, so why isn't your proposal "knee Jerk" that is, do you really think society is in danger of being raped,burnt,murdered etc by these marauding forces? And if this is a possibility can you tell me where in Australia this has happened, after all I don't know anyone with a gun, so I'm assuming there are vast suburbs of defenceless cowering people just waiting for the "four horsemen" to come a knockin.
Hey Loggy- I'm not so sure those suburbs are undefended anymore!- I just did a google asking for just how many firearms are in the country.
According to this mob www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/australia we have 764518 licensed firearm owners (not including military or police),
2675785 licensed firearms,
and an estimated stash of 550000 to 6 million unlicensed firearms 
I always thought there would be a few kicking around- but 1/2 a million is pretty crook- let alone 6 million!
I have no idea how good the figures are from this mob- or at what date they were compliled. but most of the sources for figures like this must come from licensing authorities.
stephen
So that's it then....Licensed firearm owners have to sign for their ammo and they can only buy ammo that they have a license to get......well whoop de fricken do... sign the piece of paper and go and do your shopping. That's it, stop yer whinging or you'll go to bed without yer dinner.
