Qld farmers still had handguns but I think they attacked and took most of their licenses unless they are still doing it.
No legislation is needed now as they have found an easy way to do things.
Just make new rules and policies.
NSW, Qld, and Tassie are doing the fight to cull guns that way now and will be keenly watching WA shooters go down without a fight.

When you think about the cities turning into highrise slums and no planned infrastructure to even make it work, they won't want guns and green, woke govts, and all the UN types also want the people disarmed.

Their Sydney chanel 7 news are doing a big scare story tonight on Guns in the Community.
This tactic always comes out before elections and I can only hope that shooters vote for gun-friendly minors and put the majors last, just above the greens.

Farmers were always a law unto themselves and will be attacked after rec shooters are gone.
They are independent and run their own businesses with big debt so you can understand why they fight for themselves.
It's no easy life and they have to be very practical and versatile, but as Covid has shown they sort of came out on top for themselves and their families.

That all might be true, to those that don't push back.
Unfortunately a lot don't, and more precedence is set. It's self defeating.
Although I agree with virtually everything you say, maybe I'm reading something into your writing, but it sure sounds like you've resigned yourself to being a doormat (no disrespect intended). I'm certainly not going to give up, but I know it will be a personal fight, because nobody will stand with me except for a few peers. Oh, I know plenty of people will ask later, poking their heads up from their hidey-holes, "how'd you go?" I'm convinced that never in a fit will sport shooters stand behind us.

Completely reinforces a lot of what I've been saying all along. And Louise Kingston has enormous courage. What a shame she is a lion trying to lead a fish tank full of mice.

Definately agree. An honest and genuine politician. But also the interviewer stated that he attended a range near him, and it was not only the sport of shooting,
but the getting together of friends etc for a catchup chat. That is all part of the sport, and sadly, the d**kheads in power, fail or more likely, don't want to acknowledge that.

Good new video on the new WA laws.

It just clicked to me that in WA they have to buy the gun first then get it licensed. So putting limits on the amounts of guns you can own when you need a genuine reason in the first place for each gun makes no sense.

Well makes sense if you want a ban by a thousand cuts.

I know it might be pretty bad over there but this might make some laugh. It's not just shooters over there that realise that these laws are deliberately evil.

More and more adds on used guns are listed from WA. I am a usedguns whore who refreshers the page at least every 10 minutes on my phone.

Hey you're not the only one... was picking up my little time waster toy before the shop shut and old mate shop owner is scouring the site for some worthwhile stuff to maybe get sent over.
Not the everyday stuff, but unusual or sought after firearms, hopefully the ones the scum sucking bottomdwellers are not going to pay fair price for.
Maybe some of them can get what they are worth for them elsewhere.
