Petitions

Firearms regulation


Firearms regulation

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council that clarification is needed from the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, the Licensing and Regulation Division of Victoria Police, and the Minister for Police around the use of gel blasters in Victoria.

Gel blasting is an enjoyable hobby that has health benefits through exercise. There is minimal risk to life and public safety, as demonstrated in Queensland and New South Wales where the use of gel blasters is legal.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government and the Minister for Police to legalise the use of gel blasters.

By Mr QUILTY (Northern Victoria) (111 signatures).

Laid on table.
