Goodonya Aster. As usual on the ball.
When I read or submit posts, I just think, " is it a good idea that a greeny or police read this" . If not don't submit or report it.

I am fairly new and am enjoying this site.

I do not share the same veiws as some members regarding the current laws governing our sport. We all have our opinion and in the small group of people I hunt with I am possibly the most experienced when it comes to reloading and general ballistics.I have learned a huge amount from reading others posts like casting your own bullets and stuff.

I am not a big fan of the general public having easy access to handguns and if that gets up someones nose well thats how it is. I agree to if you wish to post about firearms and hunting you should prove that you do these things.

I have just renewed my license today and am happy to scan and post it.

I'm 2 outta 3 of these, which 2 I'll leave open to debate :D

We should attempt to always portray our chosen sport, hobby, pastime in a positive way so as not to add credibility to the anti's argument.

Saw something of interest yesterday a Young bloke in Victoria being booked by their gov for posting something on Facebook no one complained but the police read it and then he got a date in court so if they are reading peoples fb you can bet they read here

In the country town I lived in the full bore shoots were regularly shot at the local range.It was a great day out for the whole town and really glued the community together.This is the kind of stuff I hope to share come Election day.I will avoid being drawn in to discussion on killing animals

There have been some seriously suspect questions and comments from time to time and a few more recently. Glad you guys are onto it!
About 6months ago, or so, there was a real spate of it for a few weeks. Anti gun agenda plant or mindless moron; I'm happy to see both go ASAP.

It's much more likely somebody read it, took offence and passed it on to Police maliciously.

Yep. Most Police resources these days are now aimed at monitoring lawful citizens in hopes of tripping them up, instead of focusing on actually catching the unlawful.

Can admin check our credentials by checking face book accounts, club memberships, license numbers, photo's of licenses...


We have a basic approval process for newly registered members to filter out obvious spammers etc. but that's about where its effectiveness ends.

Notionally, some kind of vetting process for genuine involvement in the shooting community would be great, realistically though I don't think an effective screening process of this type could be done without asking for sensitive information and frankly having myself or the moderators be privy to, or responsible for any personal or identifying information of members is something I definitely do not want.

There are also the concerns around the information being stored or passing through the site. That kind of stuff is best managed by security experts like the firearm registries... *whistles conspicuously*

Lots of newbies with little knowledge or exposure to firearms turn to forums for info and the obligatory, "this may be a stupid question, but...." posts.

Beyond info security concerns, any onerous registration system would be counter productive to growing and improving understanding of legal/lawful firearms use.

Bodgy posters and complete morons (idiots with ill intent) are pretty easy to spot. Such a system is not really needed, would be counter productive and I'm not sure I'd care to submit to such a system.

And those are fine.

Everyone was a newbie once, and everyone has asked a 'dumb' question before.

Yep. My point exactly. Newbies wouldn't be able to 'prove' an interest in firearms.
It's pretty easy to tell the difference between a genuine newbie and some anti troll or complete moron. :thumbsup:

Seems Tasmania may have been originally colonised by "The Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" and over time and lack of options grew to love their brothers and sisters just as much as their cousins. :lol:

No doubt about it. Aster and the boys are doing good job. It often calls for good judgement and a common sense approach. :thumbsup: ;) ;)

I don't think that person was anti gun, the model of Glock he mentioned is 6mm too short with the barrel to be legally owned for recreational shooters.

I would be thinking he had illegal ownership of a pistol.

The Glock guy was from Australia, I don't think he posted anything else after that.
