The group was the idea of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, the charity established by Walter Mikac to honour his daughters, aged six and three, who were among the 35 people killed by Martin Bryant at Port Arthur in 1996.
A letter to all MPs and senators sent on Thursday noted that 80 per cent of Australians support strong gun laws and debate should be "informed by evidence and facts".
What a surprise..... AMF.
I've said it before, and it might be a bit more clear now;
AMF is the threat - NOT GCA...
Why? Because the message of GCA is of nonsensical hysterics … Sham Lee can not be taken seriously by reasonably intelligent and rational people....
While AMF is a massive operation, WELL funded WIDE support with media leaders and 'celebrities' and driving a message of 'reduce the violence on children', Who can argue or disagree with that.....?? Then the gun control message takes a secondary importance in their message, like saying “oh... and we will help our cause, and make it a safer by pursuing some reasonable gun control measure.
AMF is a TROAN HORSE. They have built up their movement with the ONE SINGLE PURPOSE..
Gun control.
All the Teddy bears, the 'buddy bags', the anti- bullying message... has done one thing; allowed them to GROW, gain support, infiltrate the minds of kids through accessing schools and creating a platform from which they can be taken seriously (as wrong as that is)...
They can NOT be dismissed as readily as the GCA nut-house crew.... because “their doing good”
They are the threat.
They will provide unbiased information from experts on gun control, on gun control....contradiction in terms, the gun grabbers will advise on grabbing guns... are these people serious??
And now they proposed a gun control parliamentary friendship group, which needs support from MPs, and approval by......um.....what's his name..... ahhhh...
OH.... None other than the President of the Senate, Mr Stephen Parry.
So, on the basis that this group is proposed with the one purpose of reducing my access to legal firearms while conducting my legal activity of using firearms, I think a formal obection is in order here.... come in SSAA / SU.. this group is about supporting bigotry, defamatory BS, veritably 'unfriendly' and biased a group.
The Friends of Shooting group, c/-the pro-shooting side in Canberra has NOT been renewed this term, as yet...
