They need to hire PR people. This amateur hour on their budget is tragic.

Oh god...SSAA PR people...please not more of them...

I often bang on about it now being fashionable to be offended...well the SSAA pr folk are some of the worst...or should i say best at it...!!!
Nearly everything they write is about them being offended...
From my point of view its embarrasing that they admit they & their members are offended at some really petty & stupid things...

No point them getting more PR people until that precious attitude & culture has been bred out, in favour of some gutsy smarts that dont cry on paper & look like an immature minority ...!!!
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...

What amazes and annoys me is the statement that " semi and automatic weapons were prohibited." To the best of my knowledge "Automatic " weapons were never permitted and the weapon used at Port Arthur was, is and always has been a prohibited weapon.

Full Auto was legal in Tasmania, but that changed years before PAM. I think that QLD also permitted some Full Auto civilian ownership in the past.

I know about the Tassie laws because of a girl who came to stay with me for a while. I warned her there were some guns under the bed, she had a look and laughed at me. Apparently she had a Owen or Austen (I cant remember which) loaded under her bed in Hobart :shock:

Geoff Jones, SSAA President does not support a semi-auto ban - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ3yGsVoUVU

Ignore what Kevin Rudd said..

Interesting discussion.
But why, at 11:38 in the video, was it necessary for Geoff to state that suppressors "can be regulated". There is absolutely no need to "regulate" them. That simply suggests that some bureaucratic process (tax) will make them OK.
Look at the NZ model - just go and buy one, and please keep your noise down!
