How many people did he kill?
He was convicted of like $3200 in storage charges but they seized firearms worth far more than that.
And now going after him for not having council approval.
Classic WA. Too many poms in this state.

I’m reminded of my club president relating a year ago that the legislation rewrite was prompted by the parliament being told it could make no further amendments to the existing legislation because it was too old and too fragmented.
But hey they found a way to do this without bringing in the new act. Amazing.
Actually they waited till valentine’s day to really f.uck us. Pulled out , straight.in the back door…
… PapaLabia & McClown… Going to be gagging over each other all week…

Yeah, and I bet they couldnt demonstrate any of those calibres being used in a crime!
I wonder what they will do with the allocated cash if no one hands them in and sells them. It will go to someones little make a wish pile.
Daily reminder that McGowan won’t give nurses or police a real wage increase, hospitals and crime are out of control while he is sitting on a 6 billion dollar surplus and has 1.5 million to “buy back” firearms and ammunition from wealthy enthusiasts with rare firearms

Guy had exactly the same setup I was planning.
Isn’t the problem in this instance (as opposed to a buyback amnesty) that they know the 248~ regst users ,.so you have to hand back or you’ll be illegal and unregd from July 1st.
Yup, thats why if you have one you need to sell it to an Australian…

The owners of the firearms have now received letters informing them they will be reimbursed for the purchase price of the firearm only and ammunition must be handed in without compensation.
Interstate sale is also an option so keep a lookout for some bargain basement 50 BMGs
Ssaawa:
The Western Australian Government has launched multiple attacks to create a narrative of fear around firearms in the community.
Immediately following National Cabinet’s commitment in early February to a National Firearm Registry investigation, WA Police Minister Paul Papalia blindsided a number of key communities in WA by demanding mandatory mental checks for all new and existing firearm owners’ licences in its review of the WA Firearms Act that was announced in March 2022.
A week later this was followed up by announcing Australia’s first firearm buyback since 2002, insinuating the firearms on the hit list present an immediate danger to WA Police.
Further details of the buyback process have now been received by some affected members, which demands these firearms and ammunition are to be handed into a police station, payment will be made for firearms only and will take around two months and will be based on “purchase price”. Licensees have been told they can also sell these firearms and ammunition interstate. Accessories will also not be compensated.
Following this series of announcements, representatives from the Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia WA (SSAA WA) and WA Firearms Traders Association (WAFTA) have participated in multiple media interviews representing the views of our licensed and law-abiding firearm owners in the WA community.
The issue at hand here is the McGowan Government and Minister Papalia can act virtually without consequence as it has a clear majority in both houses and no election looming. SSAA WA has been involved in policy meetings last year on the rewrite of the Firearms Act, but the government and WA Police have now shown they do not wish to consult with anyone on firearms anymore.
Efforts are now being coordinated to firm up cohesion across the firearms industry and farming groups and presenting a show of strength to the WA Government that this section of the community will not tolerate being strong-armed into submission.
That’s super arsehole. Especially on those rounds… Probably gets pulled and sold as components.
