Australia is not a war torn country!
The issue isn't about whether children should be allowed fire arms in extenuating circumstances. The issue is about entrusting a deadly weapon into the unsupervised hands of a child in a peaceful country.
I'm sorry Nell, I have read the article for a 3rd time and although It is very misleading with a picture of a child holding a rifle and talkijg to a father and son out shooting the change in the law would be to allow over 12 year old to hunt on public land with knives, bow's and pig hunting dogs, at no point that I can see does it say a child between 12 and 17 would he allowed to use a firearm unsupervised.
If I am wrong then I apologise hut I just can't see it.
Now letting kids out against a feral pig with a knife or bow would scare me to death hit that is a different issue.
