We have already built up a library of legal arguments and precedents from our previous reclassification battles and we are convinced that we must lead this case. By now, you may have heard that the NSW record has folded its tent and decided not to reclassify the Alder B230T right-pull shotgun as Category D. This is the result we were hoping for. To describe a straight train as easily convertible into a semi-automatic or fully automatic train is completely false. This cannot be discussed in general due to the significant differences between the different models. For example, the Steyr 1895 is powered by clips introduced from above into a blind magazine, while the Ruger Mini 14 Straight Pull, which has NEVER been available on this market, is clearly a derivative of a semi-automatic firearm. Yes, okay 100% buddy. The laws of appearance are the ones that made me shit the most. I mean seriously, who can really see it? Another Kent in the range is not suitable for having a problem, and if you are hunting in the bush, there is little chance that a too timid sting will see it. So, whoever is afraid of the Fark ??? It`s not that we all ask ourselves questions about the streets with our weapons, etc. I`m really shitty how much it`s changed over the years, I didn`t know how happy we were when I could get on a school bus with my shot and go shoot a clay target. My school had about 20 to 25 school shotguns, and we are there now. Ffs.
Scold about. Given the small number of right-hand drive firearms in Australia, this measure, if it were to happen, is really a roundabout method for me to set a precedent that they can use to attack sports shotguns on the track. Those of you who replaced your “woodies” with a pumping action in 1996 don`t think it doesn`t affect you, so you`re not involved. LESS THAN A MONTH after New South Wales Police gave the Green Light to the Berika right-pull shotgun, they told the importer of the nearly identical Predator right-pull shotgun that they would ban the weapon. In addition to our representations to the government, the NSC asked the owners to contact us and was inundated with responses. After talking to these owners, we found those who were willing to stand up and be plaintiffs in a lawsuit, and we prepared a letter for the NSC attorney to take legal action before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT). All we needed was the final decision. We have confirmation from the gun registry that these shotguns are banned in New South Wales under the state`s ridiculous “appearance laws.” As you may know, from its previous intergovernmental actions, the SNC developed a library of legal arguments and authorities that we were prepared to use if the decision had gone the other way, and this is NOT the case for most direct-drive firearms imported into Australia. In January, we reported that New South Wales Police had decided to allow the sale of the Berika Black-Ops Straight Pull firearm, provided that all variants with a folding rod nail the stem. If you live in New South Wales – even if you do not own any of these shotguns – you should immediately email your local Member of Parliament in the House of Commons and House of Lords (www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/members/Pages/all-members.aspx) and the Minister of Police (www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/ministers/minister-for-police-and-emergency-services).
I think one of the legal arguments should include how they can allow him to sell it for about 12 months and then turn around and say it`s too scary. The NSC will support the importer by providing their lawyer and providing financial resources to maintain a long and lengthy legal battle if necessary. The NSC has spoken to the importer, who wants to take legal action. So are we! Countries in Europe that have approved straight-wheel drive versions of firearms such as the Ruger Mini 14 have never had problems with their use. They are readily available in France, but the weapon of choice on the quays of Marseille, as the French police told me five years ago, is the Bulgarian Kalashnikov. The New South Wales Police have done it again – they are trying to ban another right-bolted shotgun, which will lead to another legal battle by the NSC. So what are the laws for pill shotguns in New South Wales, is it just 5 Round Mags? Are strangulations and muzzle breaks illegal in New South Wales? I wanted to get a Berika Black Ops but doesn`t seem to be legal in my state currently, there are no limits to direct traction ability. Bureaucrats clearly have the false impression that direct-drive firearms are an evolution of semi-automatic, but this is a false logic. Some are, such as a right-wheel drive version of the Mini 14 produced for the European market, or the Australian Warwick WFA1, which was eliminated for reasons of “appearance”. A well-placed source pointed out to me that there are efforts to ban right-hand drive firearms through a “support slip.” Traders in New South Wales have been informed that they are no longer allowed to sell Adler B230 shotguns, but no information has been provided on whether existing owners of these shotguns are allowed to keep them. We are investigating this issue and will inform you as soon as we learn the answer.
It`s no secret that one of our priorities for NSW is to remove the appearance provisions of the legislation. They should prevent people from turning AR-15s into right-pull rifles (and we don`t support this law enforcement either); They weren`t supposed to ban guns because they “look scary,” and now they`re only being used to ban things the police don`t like. The NSC also contacted the New South Wales Registry Directorate by telephone and email and requested a written explanation of the decision. We have also requested an urgent meeting with New South Wales Police Secretary David Elliott as this decision comes after the Adler Straight-Pull fiasco who said the recording was a “typo” on a model number. We have also contacted our political contacts in Canberra to ensure that the New South Wales coalition government receives the message about the possible consequences of the actions it proposes. Examples include the Steyr 1895, Blaser R93, R8 and K31 Swiss, Ross, K31, Heym SR30, Strasser, Merkel Helix, the Browning Maral and others.
