Europes really lost the plot.

A place to discuss regulations, or the over regulation in most case, that our members have to deal with in their respective countries. Hopefully discussion will lead to more rules based on common sense, rather than fears by the government.

Europes really lost the plot.

Ok it's official, the EU is obviously a waste of time, let's end the experiment before there's no Europe left.

Ah, I don't know that we Aussies can have a crack at someone else's firearm laws without running the risk of being labeled "kettle - pot".

Yep, it scares me to think that some European politicians are as dumb and as misguided as ours.

I can't believe that politicians think that by banning these weapons they will have an effect on terrorism. I mean have you ever heard of a terrorist carrying out an attack using a muzzle loader.
But then again this proposal is from the Dutch, a country which completely banned sport hunting. The only legal way you can hunt is to cull animals such as Roe deer if they are doing damage to agricultural land/crops. But leaving that aside this is the thin end of the wedge, along with the proposed ban on semi automatic centerfire rifles such as the sauer 303, and the compulsory membership of a shooting organisation will allow them to bring in more and more stringent regulations and expensive courses to qualify for a license. This will, in my opinion, eventually mean it will become cost prohibitive to own firearms.

The local cops in VIC do, they got shot at by a shotgun and when they picked up a suspected offender later on they claimed that he had a deadly weapon on him.
It was a replica muzzle loader, not even a good one but they still put a photo of it in the paper. :lol:

This is already the case in Western Australia.

No hunting except for vermin control and mitigating economic losses.

The only other way to own firearms such as handguns/ muzzle loaders etc is to be part of a sports shooting club.

Coming to a Europe near you.

Didn't always be the way. You can thank Carmen Lawrence and Labor Government for that one. Until 1992 you could legally hunt ducks on public land and could obtain a shotgun and game licence for that pursuit.

So, if ya like to hunt with a muzzle loader, for anything then your stuffed.
I really hate the direction the world is heading, so many people can see the iceberg coming but they cantvmake anyone listen and in a very short time we won't be able to turn quick enough to avoid it.
I'm starting to think the rabid nutcase preppers are actually the smartest people around :shock:
