The West Australian Court of Appeal has upheld the cancellation of a firearms licence held by a man linked by police to the sovereign citizen movement, backing the police commissioner’s decision to revoke his access to weapons.

This is the first time a court has upheld the legality of the police decision to target the anti-government movement in relation to firearms licensing.
