GUN IMPORTATION CHAOS: What our new federal laws mean for shooters

from Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters · host Politics Reloaded - real news for Aussie shooters

WE INTERVIEW BASTIAN GREEN from Australian Sporting Agencies, who discusses the devastating impact of new federal importation laws on Australia's firearms industry. Without consulting industry stakeholders, the federal government implemented sweeping restrictions following the Bondi incident, effectively throttling the supply chain and threatening the viability of the industry underpinning what we do. Green reveals how importers face revenue losses as orders of suddenly non-compliant firearms become stranded overseas and unfulfillable contracts. Shooters will see price increases of up to $500 per firearm due to bureaucratic double-handling and permit delays of 6-8 weeks. Dealers are caught in limbo — and shooters are bound to feel the full impact of regulatory chaos. We also look at how the federal buyback needs to be conducted if it is to fairly compensate businesses and individuals for these forced losses—which is going to easily top at least $3 billion, while achieving …. nothing. THERE ARE THINGS we can do to reverse this. Getting involved in elections is the best way. We'll cover this in an episode soon .
