Any specific rules or requirements that applied to rifle clubs under these Defence Act regulations are now gone. However, rifle clubs may still need to follow other federal, state, or territory laws regarding firearms and safety.\n\n**Why it matters:** This is a 'cleanup' operation to remove outdated regulations from the statute books, simplifying the law by abolishing old Defence Act rules that likely became unnecessary or were replaced by other regulatory schemes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c2004l03927","history":"/api/acts/c2004l03927/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c2004l03927/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c2004l03927/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c2004l03927/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c2004l03927/documents"}}
