"Police Minister Rob Johnson has flagged tough new restrictions on the sale and supply of controlled weapons to minors as part of an overall State Government strategy to improve safety in and around entertainment precincts in Western Australia. Mr Johnson said he would be creating new offences under the Criminal Code and increasing penalties for offences under the Weapons Act 1999. Anyone found with a weapon in or near a place of public entertainment could face up to five years' jail."
