					<description><![CDATA[I must say, I do have some sympathy for the government position here; and yes, I am a licenced shooter in my state.

Since the people who claim to be sovereign citizens don&#039;t recognise the government as having any lawful authority over them, or laws as applying to them, it IS reasonable to see them as having a higher risk factor.  

However my main question is; do &#039;soverign citizens&#039; have licences for their firearms?  How do they reconcile that with their position?  If they do, fine.  If they don&#039;t have a licence, prosecute them!

					<description><![CDATA[I am an official of two clubs of historic firearms here in Western Australia. This follows a new badly-designed, badly implemented set of laws designed to drive us all out of our sport and if we wont go and are willing to pay the crazy costs for new safes and alarms, cut the numbers of guns we are allowed to have. Heirlooms are no longer a legitimate reason to have your grandfathers old gun, and the stress and panic among the elderly owners of such things is terrible.]]></description>

There are only a few Australians who value freedom and liberty (they look at you blankly as if you are from another planet if you mention them). The rest just want to be told what to do and have the warders provide what they need.
A country with not too many people, vast space and resources, no large native population, people who used to be reasonably well educated and it has been stuffed up beyond belief. Australians should all be filthy rich but belief in government and sloth has led to the present disaster.]]></description>

Look up the recent changes to their gun laws. They also have a State Constitution which allows them to grab you, hold you down and inject you with any vaccine the government mandates amongst other things. While the Federal gov in Australia must give fair compensation for property seized by it (there are ways around that too like restrictions on farm use without compensation), the States are under no such requirement. In Australian States, the Police actually make most of gun laws which are rubber stamped by the politicians.
This is penalising people for thought crime.
I did most of my education including university in Western Australia. Still live in Australia but another State.]]></description>
