L1A1 (and others) shoot

[CINDERS]

Makes my eyes water to see such iron and can only pine because our freeking laws are so strict we in the Western Australia have to suffer the strictest of the strict only if you have an Ag license can you even hope to get semi's like that it is just pure cr*p we have to put up with......
Here is a letter I wrote to Ron Owen a direct descendant of the man who designed the Owen gun;

In addition to your letter to the Deputy Prime Minister;

Often more than not the Govt has made decisions based on what it perceives "what is in
the publics best interests" and does not consider those of us who are shooters for all
the right reasons.
Our passion for the skill at arms was something our fore bearers gained through their
sacrifice and blood at Galipolli and France.
But we have had to put up with the knee jerk reaction from John Howard that was
unconstitutional how he did it just a vote catcher.
And pandering to the Greens backroom boys to get the votes and to look like the Govt
was doing something. Why does the Govt not tell the truth about Port Arthur and the
Hoddle street incidents.
Do people know there were 55 pages missing of Bryants testimony to the police and he
could not tell the difference between an AR-10 or the AR-15.
They look the same but are different calibers, that the shooting style from the hip in
the restaurant placed the gunman in the top 2% of the worlds top combat marksmen.
Why did Martin hit nothing with the 300 rounds fired from the house, the 5.56 round was
chosen by the shooter for its light recoil and devastating affect on soft tissue.

There are thousands like myself who abide by the rules in Australia here in W.A have
the strictest gun laws in all of Australia.
If things are that bad then why not ban cars as they are a lethal weapon and kill more
Australians than rifles.
The Govt has effectively burdened the innocent shooter with a black mark as being a
threat to the populace.
I say to you that the Govt repeal the legislation placed after Port Arthur and let the
shooters enjoy shooting and collecting.
You will never stop the illegal gun trade only shoestring those of us who have the
passion for shooting.
I have been a shooter collector for 42 years, my wife is a shooter and so is my son and
I hope to carry it on as long as I can see the target through a scope.
