Last words from me, you'll be happy to read I'm sure.

Go to, and participate in, the rally on 8th Feb. 10.30am.

It is your last chance, and WILL positively influence the results of the upcoming election.

Or just sell your gear before it's worthless.

Check out this video on the importance of attending the rally, but make sure you read the video comments.
Some of the pathetic excuses to not attend are pitiful. Typical of the jelly spines that have formed inside social media addicted fakes.

I've noticed that the firearms for sale online are at a very premium price. I can understand them wanting their money back but no-one is going to buy firearms off anyone in WA at absolute premium. So unless the law gets thowen out they will have to take a hit and them being worthless like you say will be correct.

I hate how most Australians are lazy cowards and just accept political rape. We are a brainwashed coward people. It is the worst thing about this federation, the peoples laziness. I would love to see 50-100k people there but I fear only 1k will show.

I hate the ones that say..." Don't comply, fight the police" when they are at your door and you have the choice of either handing them over or go to prison which results in you loosing your job which snowballs into loosing your home now your wife and kids are homeless.....it's not a choice and they know it . Rally needed to be done ages ago but everyone thought it would just go away. But here we are. I'm in Victoria and they won't take out guns ..they will just shut all the public land hunting and cull all the deer in the national parks by helicopter. Which takes away my genuine reason to own a firearm. Only hope we have is 1 nation winning some seats and can help abit. Both majors will have all guns banned by citizens in 5 years max is we don't.

One of the guys at the club was quoted $300 to ship a single pistol from WA. That's why a dealer here is having boxes of twenty handguns sent over every month.

Surely everyone here is not stupid and they can see the progression. The old people here can see how it started with a simple lifetime licence from the police station without a photo even on it(in QLD at least). Then self loading longarms and registration and a licence having to be renewed and a genuine reason given. Then pistol restrictions and magazine restrictions. Then appearance laws and calibre restrictions etc etc.

Oh its just a licence whats the big deal. Oh its just semi autos whats the big deal. Oh its just registration whats the big deal. Oh its just magazine limits whats the big deal. Oh its just calibre restrictions whats the big deal. Oh its just a total of 10 guns you can own whats the big deal.

Every gun law is a terrible idea because it just never ends and soon we will only be able to own single shot 22s and 308s and break action 12guages.

I hate to admit it but I was once a brainwashed commie who thought going to a police station and getting a lifetime licence was not really a big deal.

But now I can see the progression and what has become so I am against any gun law now.

Yeah mate we can all see it. I remember you saying on here about how appeasement never works. I am not against the concept of background checks and a licence based system in theory but seeing how it works in practise I just can't support the idea.

I understand some are concerned about paid agitators or a few fringe nutters screwing it. But the way I see it there isn't much left to lose.

Just hope it goes well with the nutters kept under control.

Here, more bad news. Coincidently they mention constitutional lawyers. I was wondering about that a few weeks ago. I reckon they need to have a chat with a couple. There is absolutely been no evidence presented that I'm aware of regarding public safety. Hence the ALP is not doing as it pledges to do in parliament. That is unhold that laws and constitution. It's simply harassing us.


Anyway here it is.

I have sent a few long arms out of WA recently. Cost varies between $250 - $300 each depending on the dealer you use. Its not just the freight & insurance, the cost also covers the dealers paperwork to be filled out and submitted to Licencing so that the individual firearms are taken off your licence.

For firearms coming into WA, postage is to your nominated dealer. You then have additional costs for the dealers storage and issue of serviceability certificate (a prerequisite for licencing application). For handguns being stored the new regs also require secure lockable container with a tracking device which is an additional cost come April 1.

Add on the cost of a new safe for a lot of people and its starting to get too expensive for some which would be the intent of a lot of this anyway.

Ok,.not sure why the adds say that then. With those sorts of postage costs the poor buggers over there have no chance at selling. Who's going to buy a second hand rifle if the cost of postage gets it up near new price. As no-one in WA is selling cheep they all want top top dollar

I wouldn't be surprised if the conflicting information on dates is deliberate.

They seem to despise lafo's in WA, any opportunity to come down hard on genuine misunderstandings would suit Papsmears agenda.

Just saw on Sky that WA Labor are looking like they are going to easily take another term after Saturday.

What an absolute joke and a sick reminder of the low-IQ lemmings that infest our societies today.
Only hope is one of those miracles, like when Morrison took a win over that germ Shorten in the "unlosable election", or Trump just getting elected as President despite of the sick media polls saying Harris was going to romp it in.
