It was sent off to a sub committee in June, before the new Senate. Hopefully it's just a Greens initiative that no one else takes any notice of. Interesting though, its a "Legal and Constitutional" sub committee. None of the things they are looking at are Commonwealth responsibilities. Its all State matters, but I suppose that didn't stop John Howard in 1996.

A small hope is better than no hope at all..
Not sure if my opinion will be heard, but at least I voiced, will be anyway..

Gelan, I wish you luck! Educating a politician seems a near impossible task but, like you, I think we need to try!

Geland, you have to admit that most of these semi-auto have the nasty habbit to aim the empty cases somewhere nobody is expecting and there's always the danger of being hit...
By the way, when semi-autos are not allowed, what about a double barrel shotgun? Or the drilling? Or these Derringers with even 4 barrels? Or the Gatling-gun?
And what about these nailguns? Most of them are semi-auto...

Geez, good luck educating them, looking at #6 (F) requiring an alarm system for gun storage!!
Stupid politicians only serve their own agenda and not the people that put them into office.

I think you are looking at the proposed changes rather than submissions.
Here is the link to the submission page www.aph.gov.au/Parliam...ubmissions
