@Mountaineer @Nath yes the shooters fishers and farmers party.. who's main policies align with the Nationals but also want automatic rifles, no gun registration, game hunting in national parks (and taught at schools) and have always been pro nuclear power?

I didn't say they were great.
I'm saying that the current rise in minors is a symptom of voter dissatisfaction.

These changes to WA law related to firearms are sold to the general public as being "tough on crime" or in some nebulous way "making communities safer", when realistically they won't impact criminals in any but the most tangential way.

What is going to happen is that someone who is a law abiding citizen, already subject to all sorts of regulatory compliance, is going to have decide which of their guns they can most easily forgo to get under an arbitrary cap.

If you don't like guns, lets use a metaphor and imagine you're a golfer who is now forced to choose whether they are going to forgo the putter, the sand wedge, the iron or the wood - because people who don't even play golf have decided you can only have 3.

@Mountaineer I grew up country and with guns.
Unless you're using them for work (e.g. farming), I'm pretty comfortable with people being limited to 3 tbh. 10 and 5 sounds pretty fair on a per person level.

Oh - and it's Putter, my 1 wood and trusty 7 iron

Minor parties are fine in my book, if people would actually take the time to look at their policies instead of just read their name and guess from that.

The example they gave (shooters fishers farmers) also has policies that better represent views in the regional communities than nationals. I don't really agree with them, but they're more honest and better represent what they claim to than the nationals.
