| May 3, 2012 | 1 Comment

SSAA NSW announced that the NSW Government has green-lighted a Firearms Consultative Committee. This should be a good thing providing there are only people with extensive knowledge of firearms and criminology experts on the committee. I would really like to know who is being considered as committee members.
