Frequently Asked Questions

What are the proposed ammunition restrictions in Queensland for 2018?

The proposed ammunition restrictions in Queensland for 2018 reportedly aim to limit the quantity of ammunition licensed shooters can purchase and store, and restrict purchases to only calibers registered to their firearms. These changes were allegedly set to go into effect in March 2018.

Why do licensed shooters need to store large amounts of ammunition?

Licensed shooters may need to store large amounts of ammunition for several reasons, including saving money by buying in bulk due to imported ammunition costs, ensuring a consistent supply for competition shooting with specific batches, and accommodating high round counts during range practice or pest control activities.

How does firearm registration relate to future restrictions, according to the speaker?

The speaker argues that firearm registration, introduced in 1996, was a strategic move to create a database for future firearm restrictions and confiscations. They cite examples like delayed registration updates and the ability to impose license conditions based on registered firearms as evidence of this pattern.

What are the main arguments against ammunition restrictions for farmers and pest controllers?

For farmers and occupational shooters, especially those in remote areas, ammunition restrictions pose significant challenges. They may live hours away from suppliers, requiring multiple trips for ammunition, and feral pest controllers can use hundreds of rounds in a single day, making quantity limits impractical and potentially increasing costs for customers.
