Thread: Useing the firearms register

If that's the case it's no use trying to wait out the election to delay registering. Personally I'd wait to have kinks ironed out, not due to trying to avoid it altogether.

yes and in those arenas minds are changed like we change underpants and without consultation.Until the FAC put something on paper in this regard(which it should have done !)I remain sceptical to put it politely.
