Issue with that is the threat of prosecution. What do you do when they tell you no?

I can't afford to go to court, can you?

Depends on what one deems is worth fighting for.

Sounds like you have the money. I'll morally support you.

Don't support me, support those in the legal fraternity who are taking legal action.

Picking who we vote for this election will be critical to keeping our sport alive. All of this BS is dying for court action and seriously needs to be addressed pronto.

Perhaps they could get on the pen and the keyboard now, and sort out the back log of import permit applications? No? Too busy dreaming up fantastical policy?

More like they put off processing permits until their policy was updated so they can now refuse them

Really ........surely not

I noticed in this bit at the end,

" Pertains to make; model; barrel length, configuration. Calibres may vary, provided that they are equal to or less than .50 Cal (~.5 inches (12.7 mm) in diameter."

That rules out the 50BMG as it is .510, 10 thou to big, wonder if it was an over sight or not.......

Looks like the 50cal restriction applies to B-Cat - not mentioned in the A-Cat section, otherwise:
The bigbore guys wont like that, no more 600Nitro & 700 Nitro - what about shooting slugs in a 12Ga?

Agreed - Whats the point of limiting cat b to .50 cal in anycase? Did we have any service station holdups with Howdah pistols in the last 100years?

How many matches are there for pistols over .50cal?

Yesterday I was watching a yank wih a Remington 870 messing targets up with slugs, he mentioned that he could only use a smooth bore.... Now today I hear we are headed for similar issues.

Bit like the frog in the pot full of water, slowly turn the heat up and he doesn't know he is boiling alive, drop him in a hot pan and he jumps out
