Australia is exactly the same, but Australians, at least the majority of Australians, will never stand against our government. You could walk them into a gas chamber & not even hear a complaint.

The Petition of Keith H. Burgess.
President of the New England Colonial Living History Group.

Brings to the attention of the House the matter of firearms licensing in relation to muzzle-loading pistols (percussion locks excluded).

At this present time, working replica (replicas of original 17^th and 18^th century antique muzzle-loading pistols) muzzle-loading pistols of the lock types matchlock, wheellock, tinderlock, doglock, snaphance, and flintlock can only be owned by a person possessing a category H gun licence, and these pistols can only be legally fired on a registered gun range. This requirement excludes the use of these antique replicas for Living History and Historical Re-enactment purposes. It also excludes the use of these antique replicas for use as a back-up safety for muzzle-loader hunters hunting on private property who are hunting with single shot muzzle-loading rifles or smoothbores.

Historical Re-enactment groups and Living History organisations have re-enactment rules which preclude the use of live ammunition and preclude the use of a ramrod during any and all re-enactment displays. There is also a permit requirement; this permit is for historical re-enactment organisations wishing to conduct an historical re-enactment event involving the possession and use of firearms by participants. Clause 61 - Firearms Regulation 2006.

Replicas of muzzle-loading pistols of the lock types mentioned are slow to load and require a good deal of knowledge and training to ensure the workability of this type of gun. Ignition even when used by a competent person can not be guaranteed. Therefore these muzzle-loading guns are not suitable for criminal use.

The undersigned petitioners therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to change the licensing requirement for these replica antique muzzle-loading pistols (percussion locks excluded) from the present category H class licence to the category B class licence.

Never take for granted the freedoms we enjoy today!

Rather a strange title for us in Australia, as we have already lost so many of our freedoms. Let's make sure we do not lose any more human rights!

The Future of Gun Control

An American video, but still holds true for Australia. We have lost our right to own semi-auto guns, we have lost our right to own even a muzzle-loading pistol unless we want to only shoot it on a club range. Toy guns we make for our kids are now illegal so the police tell me, I can't even make my grandchildren a wooden gun!!! Kids getting into trouble at school for using their fingers for a pretend gun. Where is all this going to end. Self-defence & the defence of our family is NOT a legal reason for owning a gun!!!
Wake up Australia, it is time to start fighting for our human rights.
