ARMS ACT.
REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. Important amendments to the Arms Act are contained in the Arms Act Amendment Bill, which was introduced into the House of Representatives by the Hon. T. M. Wilford. The main object of the Bill is to retain in th© Arms Act those clauses dealing with automatic pistols and revolvers, and to remove the present restrictions relating to firearms, ammunition or explosives, sporting guns and rifles, which will not require to bo registered, and no permit will be required by farmers who desire to make use of explosives for lawful purposes. Persons holding licenses as dealers, will be required to register sales and will still require a permit to sell. The registration of sales by dealers will act as a check on the possession of rifles and sporting guns, but holders of such rifles will not be required to go through the present roundabout procedure in connection with registration, as provided for in the Act as it stands. Automatic pistols and revolvers will still require to be registered.
