Fit-And-Proper Test Sees Labelled Groups Lose Weapons

[Rev.Cambeul]

A Warning from Australia: The test-bed of the anti-gun lobby.

Which label do you fit? Are you Politically inCorrect? Have you joined a club that believes in freedom of thought, freedom of conscience or freedom of the open highways on a motorcycle of your choice in clothing of your choice? Perhaps your granny is part of a knitting circle that knits cardigans with the national flag on them, or embroids colours for outlaw motorcycle clubs? Well, guns for granny might now be a thing of the past, thanks to the "Fit-and-Proper" test to determine whether or not you are allowed to own a gun.

Granny get yer gun and hand it in at your local police station. Knitting those scarves for your motorcycle riding grandson and his friends is proof of your connections with organised crime. Shame on you granny! Shame!

VICTORIAN police yesterday seized more than 100 registered firearms from members of outlaw motorcycle clubs across the state, declaring that bikies were not fit and proper people to hold licences.

Assistant Commissioner Steve Fontana said the Victorian chapters of one motorcycle club had access to 38 registered firearms. "This is simply intolerable and we don't think the community would think this is proper."

A barrister for some of the outlaw clubs, Wayne Baffsky, said seizing legal firearms was discriminatory. "Where will this end? People of the Muslim faith have been involved in numerous acts of terrorism. Can police also now declare they are not fit and proper persons to hold a firearms licence or participate in various forms of employment where this test is applied?"

"We're not saying that they (the registered firearms) are necessarily used in crime, there's a potential that they are," said Mr Fontana. [more ...]
