[QUOTE="Mater Blaster, post: 383609, member: 24646"] groper, so you read the official response, SAPOL response! I didn't see in the response that no-one will be issued a PTA for the firearms, so who is going to be able to buy them? (they were issued wrongly in the first place!) Basically, legislated confiscation- no compensation. He is forced to sell to someone who can't buy. Who says you can't use one of these calibres for hunting large game, who says you can't target shoot one of these calibres safely on private property? I have owned one since 1996, shoot large game & target shoot safely, now SAPOL say I can't own it anymore, & I can't sell it because they won't grant a PTA. There was no mistake in letting people own these firearms, some dull spark in SAPOL has now determined that these caliberes are unsafe, if they can do it to these, any caliber is susseptable! Don't get sucked into the "I don't own one so it doesn't affect me" attitude, they are great to shoot & very effective on large game. This is a gun grab by SAPOL & it must be fought against. [/QUOTE]
