The discussion document on the proposed Arms Act has been released for public submission. It is open until the end of February.

I encourage you to participate in this important process because your feedback directly influences the development of the new Act. Please do not let the future of legal firearm ownership be informed solely on the views of those who have little experience with firearms, or are hostile to legal gunowners.

We will be releasing a submission guide this week to help guide you through the key topics including removal of an A-cat firearms registry, and separation of power between firearms license administration and the enforcement duties of police amongst others.

We must all do our part to ensure we have fair and effective firearm laws.
