Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

14 years imprisonment for having a digital file on a computer
seems a very draconian law.

When do they persecute people for skills and knowledge that are unapproved? If you can make it, you will be able to break the law. No one is safer because these men have been charged.

It is draconian when the government decides what pictures are legal.

Last time i saw the legislation it only mentioned digital files on computers or storage devices i guess you could print and frame it stick it on the wall and it would be ok according to how legislation was written.

You're not going to make a 3D printed gun that is anything more than single use capable firing a little .22lr round. As for nonsense with making an assault rifle with 3D printing it's not going to happen a .223 Rem has over 50,000 psi chamber pressure. What is the Ultimate Tensile strength of materials used in 3D printing i can tell you it's nowhere near strong enough which is why police said they're a danger to those using it and those around them.

Modern sintered 3D printing with alloys is really good they call it additive manfacturing as opposed to reducing a block of metal down to something which creates far more waste with materials.

Kalgoorlie man, 29, admits trying to sell rifle illegally as police launch new campaign targeting illegal firearms


A 29-year-old Kalgoorlie man who arranged to sell a high-powered rifle illegally has narrowly avoided an immediate prison term, just days after Crime Stoppers and WA Police launched a new campaign targeting illegal firearms.

The Kalgoorlie Magistrate's Court heard detectives used phone intercepts to track down Caleb Oreste Sceghi, who drove 260 kilometres from Kalgoorlie-Boulder to Menzies and back to purchase the Browning .22 bolt-action rifle

Police had been listening in to his calls and SMS messages for a week prior to his arrest and learned he planned to sell it to another man.

He was taken into custody before he could complete the transaction, but the court heard the arrest did not all go to plan.

Murray Stubbs, from the Aboriginal Legal Service of WA, said his client had been out of work for a significant period and needed the money.

He said Sceghi, who was banned from holding a firearms licence in 2017 after a previous firearms conviction, had spent the past four weeks in custody at Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison.


"There is no suggestion my client used the rifle in any way," he said.
"He accepts that it may be stolen or unlawfully obtained … he didn't ask any questions."

Mr Stubbs said Sceghi used to work as a tyre fitter at the Super Pit before getting involved in drugs and told him he stopped using methylamphetamine three months ago.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months.

Magistrate Holgate said he could have faced a maximum penalty of three years' imprisonment or a $12,000 fine for the firearms charge.

The ABC thinks a .22lr bolt action rifle is high powered.  Shocked

A guy who had blueprints to make a gun who didn't actually make it is facing a harsher penalty than someone who tried to illegally sell a low powered bolt action rifle.
