Re: Banning risk to large calibre rifles in Aust

Hello all,
This is the first I have heard of a push to ban large calibre rifles. I have not seen any mention in the Australian Shooter magazine or the ADA deer magazine. Has anyone seen anything in the papers? They are usually pretty quick to jump on anything anti gun.
There is a push within the WA and SA Police Firearms Sections to effectively "ban" a list of long range medium and big bore chamberings in rifles. Chamberings such as the .338 Lapua, Cheytacs, .460 Steyr etc.
Possibly could get expanded to virtually everything over and including such .338.
Well if not expanded to those right now, they will try it "tomorrow" anyway.
