Federal MP and Olympic shooter Dan Repacholi has publicly criticised proposed firearms reforms, warning they unfairly target law-abiding gun owners and sporting shooters.
In a post shared online, Repacholi voiced strong opposition to the changes, arguing they would do little to improve community safety while placing further restrictions on responsible licence holders.
However, despite his outspoken stance, Repacholi acknowledged he has no authority to prevent the reforms from proceeding, with the proposals being driven by the NSW Minns Government.
The comments have reignited debate around gun laws in New South Wales, with supporters arguing the reforms are necessary for public safety, while critics say they represent unnecessary overreach.
