Obviously, there are interstate dealers who are buying/selling guns from WA. I’ve noticed a little spike, that I can only assume to be guns being exported and sold interstate, be it on consignment or not… I have seen a little spike, but little. I am seeing is some 515, but again, not a lot for number of shooters. Maybe 20ish and very little Suluns or Templetons, etc. So, I find this interesting. There is a lot of noise, but not enough guns for the noise. Noise is good, great even, but I am just looking at it form number of guns and there is just not a lot. Just an interesting observation.
Heaps of guys just getting rid of guns left right and centre in WA from anecdotal stories. Alot juat giving in and handing them in for nothing, the slightly more motivated ones are sending them over east.
Most i would say are being rendered or handed in. For $400 bucks to ship little got put on gun sales. Over 60 were handed in just yesterday by one dealer.
Two interesting things from info sent out by my club today. Multiple barrels can be registered for a single firearm - previously they counted as seperate firearms.
And did they dox a property manager with their portal demonstration? Or is it a references to Socrates
WA doesn’t allow collectors to fire the firearms and ammunition they have collected so it is a futile exercise
You’d have to be extremely keen (a “student of arms”) and wealthy to collect firearms you can’t use or display compared to collecting rendered firearms
Its just a Physi op trying to make the cops look good by giving the public some transition period of next time I see you it will cost you so you think they have done the right thing by you but the laws are coming and will be enforced. Youre f’d
