Found this and thought you lot would like to se it.
It's the gun control "wish list" from the anti-gun lobby group "Gun Control Australia"
This is an example of the sort of laws the gun grabbers want in place, I don't think American gun-grabbers are much different.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Policy
The laws we need in place:
Gun Regulation Authority
In each jurisdiction
To control guns and make gun laws
A Federal authority, to take over within five years and establish
uniform
gun laws, based on criminologists/specialised lawyers and seconded
senior police
Shooters License
A rigorous training and testing program over a six month period -
requiring a
three part 1-1/2 hour written test set by police, shooters and
community groups.
License valid for three years only at cost of at least $100, which will
cover
third party insurance & research development.
Special Hunting Licence
Only declared vermin may be hunted; provided an appropriate hunting
course
has been taken. Such a course to be conducted by the Gun Control
Authority
and selected hunters of long experience and high repute. Such a course
will
require at least three one day trips in the field under supervision. A
written
examination which will cover hunting ethics, ethnology and hunting
malpractice's must be passed.
Guarantors
After passing the shooters license, an applicant must gain support from
two guarantors who are of known repute and not involved in shooting
activities.
Guarantors must re-support if license is extended.
Permit to Purchase
Application to own a gun must give good justification. Self defense not
acceptable. Hunting acceptable only with yearly written approval of
accredited
primary producer or Head Ranger of State parklands. No person shall own
more than four long guns.
Semi-Auto Centrefire Rifles, Shotguns & Pump Action Shotguns
To be no longer imported and to be bought back by government over next
five years.
Registration
All guns to be registered to a specific person and responsibility for
any misuse
to be on that person. All guns transfers to have Regulatory Authority
approval.
Storage
All guns and ammunition to be stored separately in 5mm thick steel
storage safes securely bolted to a wall or floor of house. All guns
must be
stored and transported with the gun lock operative.
Within 10 years all guns to be removed from urban homes and held at 48
hours
notice in selected police stations which are adapted for gun storage
purposes.
No guns to be kept in gun clubs. Bonafide primary producers outside of
urban
areas to maintain conditions set in 8.1
Age
No shooting license to be issued below 18 years of age. No gun usage
permissible under 17 years of age.
Handguns
Handguns of any nature can only be obtained for shooting at approved
handgun
ranges. Except for special permission granted by the Gun Regulatory
Authority,
a person will own a maximum of four handguns. A special handgun license
will be required for handgun ownership and will not be granted until
the gun
control authority has ensured that the applicant has justified reason,
is of
excellent repute and has passed a strict regime of training and testing
over
a period of not less than six months. The gun control authority will
have full
responsibility for maintaining standards and records of handgun
ownership.
Security Industry
The Gun Regulatory Authority will be responsible for developing a new
set of
credentialisation, training and testing procedures for all security
guards.
These will be cohesive and strict. All existing security services will
be revoked
and applicants will have to reapply to meet the new set of demands.
Collectors
A collectors license will require that
Only antique guns are collected (defined as manufactured prior to
1920).
The guns are disabled.
Yearly inspection and strong demands on storage facilities.
Members, on leaving bona fide collectors' groups, must give guns to the
Gun Control Authority for sale.
Orders Against Gun Owner
If a Domestic Violence Order is taken out against a gun owner, The
police must
confiscate all guns immediately.
