I’m an Aussie and I’ve only ever shot a gun a few times, while I was deer hunting with my mate who passed away. I really enjoyed it. So I wanted to get my gun license after attending 3 course bullshit amount of paper work dragging on for a long time. The government then needs you to prove you have private land to shot on, with signed consent from the land owner. Even though you can shot on public land in designated area’s. I also have to find a respected member of society to give there word that you are an responsible member of your community and it a short list ie police, judge, registered nurse or doctor. Once you finally obtain your license you have to give consent to police to do random searches on your home anytime 24 hours a day. There’s more but I would here for ages. All I want is a decent rifle with a scope to hunt deer and boar. I’m not after automatic weapons (which are illegal here anyways). Moral of the story don’t let them take your guns off you, I can’t even hunt for food to put a meal on my table. Most Aussies I speak to regret the change to gun laws. I am 35 and was to young to vote. It’s a FUCKING joke. Happy shooting people (I’m hoping to have a gun by the end of the year if all things go my way)
