Dear Minister, My name is Chris Martin and I am 20 years of age. I am currently licensed to use Category A and B firearms. I have been safely using firearms since I was 14 years old and I currently use firearms for recreational shooting, I understand that the Federal Attorney Generals Department (AGs) are currently working with representatives from the Firearm Licensing branches from the various State and Territory Police, Customs, Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Department of Defence (DoD), on further restrictions to be implemented via an overhaul of the National Firearms Agreement 1996 (NFA).
The AGs report entitled "The ability of Australian law enforcement authorities to eliminate gun-related violence in the community" goes on to outline what they believe a technical review of the NFA should involve. Specifically: Address State differences in "different lengths of licences and different requirements that need to be met to own and possess Category D firearms". Address inconsistencies "in areas not covered by the NFA, such as in relation to firearm parts, accessories, magazines and firearm dealers.
· "the accountability of deactivation standards and agreed firearm descriptors."
· "take into account the changes in technology and the legal firearms market that have occurred since 1996."
· "regulation of magazines, firearm parts and acces sories"
· "principles for dealing with interstate transactions, particularly dealers operating in more than one State or Territory"
· "the classification of new technology with regards to:
- ballistic performance (noting that this can have as much to do with the ammunition as the firearm)
- rate of fire (including magazine capacity); and
- appearance"
· "more explicit guidance on the NFA’s genuine reasons for owning, possessing or using a firearm (the genuine reasons), and"
· "technological changes with respect to the issuing of licences and permits to
acquire."

Focus on the real issues of illegal firearms! Making firearms illegally will only prevent the law abiding from owning them. The criminals committing the offences will not be effected.

Stop punishing people who are doing the right thing. Punish the criminals the ones who are breaking the law.

The decision this govt. is trying to make outright disgusts me. Stop trying to pass ineffective laws that will have no impact on crime other than to punish law abiding firearms owners. Dictatorship has no place in this country.
