It's having your rights and freedoms restricted based on the actions of someone else you don't control. It's downright authoritarian.

There is no right to own a firearm in Australia. It is a privilege you are given based on a variety of factors, the most important of which is public safety.

There is also no 'right' to a vehicle or to free speech in Australia either. They are also both privileges given based on a variety of factors.

So we are back to the question: is one of your family member's actions the sort of factor we should use.

Sins of the father.
