I read some where that NSW had taken paintball markers/guns from requiring a firearms license to now requiring a Paintball marker certificate. Does any one know if this has been successful?
And what would people on here feel about a certificate requirement if it covered Paintball, Gel Blasters, Airsoft, and lead pellet firing airguns (of lower FPE) instead of having these items on a firearms license. I personally would like to see non lethal airguns sperated from firearms licenses and catorgories. Also administered by a separate organisation independant from Police.
The fear of things that look shooty shooty scary scary but are harmless but so heavily regulated or banned shows some in power do not understand what we really need protection from and what are sporting items or toys with no actual ability to do any more than leave a red mark.
It in a way makes more people apply for firearms licenses and purchase and own actually scary scary pew pew sticks which I thought the powers at be would prefer there were less off.
What are your thoughts.
Cheers.
