It's a shame that Australian firearms law has become more restrictive for the law abiding gun owners. Still, I have a friend who hunts Axis deer over there from time to time and he has had no trouble or serious impediments put in his way.
We have a vocal minority here in NZ who are anti gun and get way too much attention by the media. They're your usual urbanite, liberal, types who haven't a clue about the wilderness or that just about every farm in this country (and there are a lot of farms) has at least one rifle or shotgun. They would love to see more restrictive firearms laws placed on us. They haven't a chance of succeeding though as we love our guns too much and we're too organized. Long may it remain so.
Well, some good news is that my wife received her Firearms Licence (A,B) notification today in the mail, photo on Thursday and then look about for a 1958 Brno model 5 for her, I already have a nice 1980's piece of Roger Vardy's walnut ready to be cut to fit her.
