New state gun laws were passed by both houses of parliament on Wednesday, following a marathon debate that finished around 3am.

The new laws, along with hateful symbols and restricting public access following a terrorist attack, state that an individual can own up to four (4) guns, while primary producers can own up to 10 guns.

It limits straight-pull/pump action and button/lever release firearms to primary producers, reduces magazine capacity for category A and B firearms and prohibits firearms using belt-fed magazines.

Gun club membership will be mandatory for all firearms licence holders, and people will no longer be able to seek to overturn a licence decision through the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Other significant gun reforms include requiring all gun clubs to use the GunSafe online platform, and a mandate of safe storage inspections before the issue of a permit.

This legislation will be accompanied by a comprehensive audit of existing firearms licences, as well as a gun buyback scheme, in partnership with the Federal Government.

Greens MP Sue Higginson put forward an amendment targeting those with suspected terrorist links, making sure they are never granted a firearms permit, which was passed unanimously.

The new gun laws were not supported by the NSW Nationals. Local fourth-generation dairy farmer, Paul Weir, also opposes the new laws.

Paul told the Lismore App, "I am totally against it" when referring to the new gun laws.

"I am really angry with our politicians. It is in-city politics playing political games, and we will achieve nothing."

Paul believes that those who own more than 10 guns are mostly collectors. They will have guns from the 1700s and 1800s, reflecting a history of guns during white settlement.

"I don't see the need for more than 10 guns on my farm," Paul explained. "However, people need to understand that farmers use different guns for different reasons. You need one gun to shoot snakes, another to shoot rabbits, another to shoot pigs, and another to shoot cattle.

"I had to euthanise an animal this morning when I discovered it had a broken leg. Farmers need guns in everyday farming life."

Paul does not believe that the gun amnesty will achieve its desired results.

"The only people who will give their guns back are the people the government are not worried about. That won't achieve anything. The people they are hoping to target won't hand them in."

"We have more deaths through car accidents than guns. Are we going to go back to horses to save lives?"

"The people who are a threat should be on a government watch list. They're the ones who shouldn't be allowed to have any guns."
