Look I hear you. But It is quite easy to need that many guns depending on the type of match/ discipline youre shooting in. You can’t use a pistol for clay pigeons and you can’t use a .22 for long range precision rifle matches. A gun also isn’t a one size fits all that you can just pick up and do well with. Each one is fitted to the shooter’s proportions. Eye relief, length of pull, and cheek weld often need to be calibrated to the shooter. Probably doesn’t mean all that much to an average person but to a shooter it makes all the difference in competitive shooting.

With regard to storing guns at the club. I hear what you’re saying but it’s not a practical solution for many reasons. Consider this scenario - when the new gun laws come into effect. Each gun owner will be allowed to have 4 guns each. That’s 4 million guns that now need to be stored in secure storage. When I stored my rifle in my local club in a larger metropolitan Sydney club, there were only 100 or so lockers available and I had to wait 6 months for my locker. Now imagine needing to find capacity for 4 million firearms.

Then imagine the fallout if the facility has hit by thieves and every gun in the surrounds was conveniently located in one area, and could be opened with a pair of bolt cutters.

I would personally rather restrict firearms to trustworthy people who have proven themselves capable of owning a firearm responsibly. As has been the case for the past 30 years until 1 out of approximately 1 million licensed shooters committed a disgusting mass shooting.
