Buyback question

[Wapiti]

The rallies are going to happen, boys.
There will be more to come on this coming soon.
Labor is about to see masses of Australians, not just shooters, on the streets demanding the sacking of these two treacherous Labor "leaders".

These Labor losers have underestimated the masses methinks, they thought that the electorate was stupid and would fall for Minns and Albanese's attempt to hide their incompetence by shifting the blame to the gun, not the "religion of hate"
The anger out there about this diversion is culpable.

Keep your eyes on Facebook, there will be information soon. If any of you see it before me, inform us all.

Whatever you do, participate if you get the chance.
Disown and ignore the sit-down-to-p*ss pretend gun owners who will step up online to tell you that standing up with balls is not the right thing to do.
They will tell you that in an attempt to justify their own cowardice and falseness.
As others have said well, this is your last, and only chance.

There were excellent rally turnouts in 96 when it was organised by word of mouth, letters, talk back radio organised.

Lets hope the communication of today sees even more getting the message.

Carpools organise a bus etc for rural folks.

Archery clubs, pig doggers, 4wd clubs, conservationists etc will hopefully be allies

I have high end target pistols. Hope they won't be in the buy back, but I aint gonna hold my breath

My concern as well. When this national database goes ahead and sport clubs \ associations with be obligated to report attendance, I would not be surprised, if they record your pistols \ firearms serial number as well. If you're not using it for your sport, then they could argue you don't need it.
I'l be making sure i rotate my armory and keep personal records what I take to the range.
I think the days of keeping a pistol at home as your secondary, backup target pistol without prove of use, will be gone. Multiple pistols with the same calibre could also come under review and questioning.

And no use handing in a bolt and mags and hoping to get the firearm written off. No serial, no buyback, no write off.

They are still firearms that will be counted and I'm guessing it will be the same if not very similar to WA's laws.

eg. WA law sets out several scenarios for general recreational shooters up to a maximum of 10. Farmers, Pastoralists etc can have additional benefit numbers.

1) This can be made up of just 5 for hunting (Max allowed for hunting)

2) or 5 for hunting plus 5 for club competition shooting (these 5 made up either by all rifles or handguns or a combination of both) but no more than 5 making 10 total. Or split the numbers such as 3 for hunting and 7 for club competition shooting etc.

3) or the whole 10 for club competition shooting. The WA law also allows for additional club competition firearms if you regularly attend State, National or World championships and this can be supported by your local body, eg SSAA etc. WA shooters have been granted additional firearm numbers under this clause.

You will need to determine what you can or will now be able to do and keep those appropriate firearms within the number limits and sell or hand in any remaining via buyback.

.......And no use handing in a bolt and mags and hoping to get the firearm written off. No serial, no buyback, no write off.

Yep if the same as in WA this won't work. Guys here tried that to no avail. Firearm being handed in must be COMPLETE. Swap back to the old crappy stock and sell the fancy one etc.

What happens to any person or company that commits an act, which causes the Stock Market to crash ??
(No, I don't mean firearm stocks)

I'm referring to the "Stock Market"

In essence, these proposed changes will cause how many businesses to collapse/fail

They don't care about business.

In 1996 there were so many gun comps that brought in millions of dollars a year.

I came across an article with what the WA paid in their recent buyback. Wasn't pretty. if the firearm is 0-6 years old , you'll get hosed. If more than 6 year old, you might not lose as much.
For example. Centerfire rifles less than 6yo - was $950 maximum.
perhaps 1886 can comment.

ASA rep talking about buy back prices with the recent WA buyback.

If i had to hand in a rifle they'd be getting a receiver.

I want the option to render mine inoperable myself.

Actually no, I’ll be doing that anyway. Because we know where some of these guns will end up.

[womble]

You take the thousand dollars, drop your trousers, and bend over.
The cost of the vasoline will be deducted from your $1000.

Yep. the prices paid for most were ridiculous and did not reflect anywhere near the true resale or purchase costs for most firearms either less than 6 years or more. Try buying any of those firearms for the figures quoted. The only real benefit came to those with old guns brought back in the 60-80's. I sold my "extras" over East but even then the guys got bargains at reduced costs so I could actually sell them.

But this was strictly a WA Labor Govt only buyback so we got screwed. I've no idea whether a Labor National buyback will also screw the pooch on costs but as it apparently will be on a 50:50 basis with the States don't hold your breath.

[ColdStart]

Well Victorian paid $1,400 per machete recently.


More correctly, it cost Victorian's that much per machete, hoping at least that the same person that did that scheme, does the firearm buy back as well.

Maybe we need to start a thread to see how many we can get to chip in for vasoline.
We could organise a bulk purchase.
We might save some money by working together.

[womble]

Nah I’m building a belt fed shotgun with pvc pipe and spray paint.
Very rare. Should fetch a fair sum.

[bigrich]

christ, bulk purchase of vaseline , belt fed pvc shotgun . you guys are weirdo's

i can only imagine what lefty spies would make of that ...

And I've seen figures up to $1Bn dollars if Alboc**t gets what he wants over the line, put aside as firearm buybacks. If it's anything like ANY of his other splurges, that's underestimating the cost by heaps. What a disgrace.
There are not words to describe what this f**kwit will not spend to set himself up with a legacy and buy his pathetic pointlessness a place in history.

All the while, when we go into town we see caravans and tents, cars with single mum/dad families living in them, trying to park where there is a toilet or a place to wash what clothes they have somewhere. Not to even talk of buying food that's going to grow their kids properly.
people come to us every day that have had the power turned off outside for not paying bills, little kids and grandmas arriving at ED's with organ failure from heatstroke.
People cane me and others for HATING this piece of excrement, his whole being is to himself and his narcissism. I am amazed at the bubble some people live in.
Boating accident, anyone?

I keep hearing the phrase " A firearm is a privilege, not a right!" over and over again. It made me stop and ponder about our real freedoms in the country.

Who decided that? Who decided that I need to be privileged to protect myself and feed my family?
When things get out of control in this country, will i rely on a possible defunct government to protect my family and feed me? I dont blame the sepps for guarding their 2A if it means their welfare would be at stake.

One has simply to turn their attention to Ukraine where the government started handing out assault rifles to their untrained citizens when they realized the enemy was at their door step.

[womble]

Her majesty’s privilege.
And it does not extend to protecting your family.
You can protect livestock with it. But not people, yourself included.

[womble]

But yes who decided this.

They started handing out $55M in ammo and guns from Australia that scomo sent over.

Well it looks like it is all coming to fruition with the laws being rushed through last night.

Vale Calibre flexibility
Vale Multi-disciplines
Vale Used Market
Vale Trade-ins

Like imagine being a target shooter, who likes to do recreational hunting or dabble in a few disciplines of shooting (target, trap, sporting, LRS, air etc). I think the problem was the Bondi dude had 6 rifles so that became the bogey number and any knee jerk reaction had to be a figure less than that.
