The power of one, united voice - COVID-19 dealer closures

[bah]

Shout out to all of you out there who wrote to your local members in Queensland, joined the Shooters Union and lobbied for our stores to have 70% of the bans imposed on shooters lifted during the draconian COVID-19 lockdowns.

Together we are strong.

Please consider exploring the following resources/considering membership to these organisations (some of which offer free affiliate membership) to ensure the voice of reason is heard amongst the screaming toddler behaviour of the leftist agenda and anti-gun lobbyists.

The following organisations wish to introduce safe, reasonable, factual, efficient reform that promotes public safety through progressive reform to firearms legislation on state and federal levels as mandated by the ‘Howard Criminal’s’ National Firearms Agreement (which is not necessarily binding on all states, but rather a ploy to bully all states into legislating against innocent firearms owners and enthusiasts - that’s right, Howard threatened to remove federal funding from GST/tax revenues if states, especially Queensland, did not comply).

Together, let’s balance the rights of all stakeholders, work together with our policy makers, create inviting, safe spaces for our community to participate in firearms sport and ensure our message is heard by our state and federal governments, just as Queenslanders have with Queensland Weapons Licensing and the current Labour Government.

Shooters Union of Australia (our closest affiliate to our NRA companions in the US). Please note Shooters Union can provide liability insurance for your sporting and recreational shooting and also operates ranges. Your SSAA money is simply getting flushed down the drain. You are best off continuing to use SSAA ranges in your area on a pay-per-visit basis rather than donating your funds to fuddy duddy’s who have destroyed their organisation through in-fighting and a resistance toward new shooters joining our wonderful sport).

As always, please continue to write to your local members to support our farmers accessing sound moderators and handguns for safe and humane dispatch of livestock, reclassifying category C/D small caliber for sporting 3-gun competition and so on. You can find your local members or your state parliamentary website - in Queensland that is the Legislative Assembly in the following link (please bear in mind that we only have a lower house - interstate shooters please consider lower and upper house incisions senate):

I would like to finish with one more comment. Yes, we can banter all we like on forums such as Enough Gun with like minded folk, however, as shooters we are NOT intolerant of others based on race, religion, socioeconomic background, sexuality, gender etc. Shooting is for ALL to experience in a free democratic society. This includes working together with our, once friends, now estranged, Greens, Labour, certain factions of the LNP and anti-gun counterparts. Where once we valued our rich cultural colonial frontier origins, the ensuing ANZAC spirit at the turn of the 20th century and the rich, vibrant, ancient history of our First People, our indigenous brothers and sisters, so did our fellow conservationists who have orientated themselves against us as our opponents. We must cease to insult or ridicule those who do not understand our logic, reasoning and acceptance. We must NOT descend to the bullying, fear mongering, and hysteria spreading antics of such political organisations.

Cheers!

Will check out that YouTube channel see what his got to say we all need to protect owe sport and for those who don’t like it don’t have to be a part of it like us with tennis or football if we don’t like it we don’t have to have anything to do with it seems so simple to me but the powers that be don’t see it that way unfortunately

Hi John,

Great to hear you’re checking out some of those links. The smallest steps in the right direction - however small an action that may be - is a small victory for us in overcoming apathy toward firearms rights and gun culture in our country.

Let me know what your perspectives are - happy to discuss any concerns or ideas you may have.

Cheers!

Well s**t, I do love Ozzie.
Sold.

signed up to shooters union after watching Ozzie's "Last Australian Shooter" video. Also donated an additional $30.
They are doing great work recently. SSAA do nothing because they profit off being a genuine reason.

Joined several years plus small donation - equal to my cancelled SSAA membership.
These guys appear to be doing more in the last few months than I’ve seen SSAA do in the last x years.

Hi all,

Really fantastic news. These organisations are fantastic advocates for us all. They value ALL shooters regardless of background and believe in dispelling myths, giving us more libertarian, individual freedoms AND maintaining public safety. I’m glad that you’ve all taken a moment to research these organisations and join up.

Could you please spread the word amongst your shooting friends and share this post. We have achieved so much the past few months, more than SSAA has achieved for us since 1998. Together we are strong!

Some what powerful and how true so now I wonder how long is it going to take for people to react will they react in time to stem the increase of gun laws as he said people should get off their arse and do something unite or be gunless
