Shooters Union call to arms -
Email cut 'n paste:
THE BUYBACKS ARE COMING
We're fighting back.... Will you help?
Dear Grant
If you're a licensed shooter anywhere in Australia — we need you to step up NOW!
New South Wales and Tasmania have announced firearm buybacks. Not aimed at disarming criminals or at confiscating illegal weapons. Locked and loaded on licensed, vetted, law-abiding gun owners — the people who already did everything right — are once again the ones being told to pay for other people's crimes.
We are done being polite about this.
We're done with politicians who treat shooters like second-class citizens. Done with being lumped in with violent criminals and terrorists we have nothing to do with, by people who know better and say it anyway. Done watching governments confiscate property from people who followed every rule, while doing nothing about the people who never had a licence in the first place.
Shooters Union is opposing these buybacks. Not quietly. Not politely. We are gearing up for a real fight in both states — mobilising shooters, getting the truth in front of the public, and making it very clear to Members of Parliament that they cannot keep making an example of licensed owners and expect us to just cop it.
And this is bigger than two states.
Nearly 930,000 Australians hold a firearms licence (Department of Home Affairs). Every one of you is being watched right now — because if governments get away with this in NSW and Tasmania, every other state government takes notes. Queensland, Victoria, WA, SA — you're not exempt. You're just next in line if we let this one go unanswered.
This is the moment that decides whether shooters across this country get treated like criminals by default, or whether we make politicians think twice. There is no sitting this one out.

Tell your MP you're watching
Politicians only back down when they know their own seat is on the line.
If your local Member of Parliament thinks this is someone else's problem, put them straight. Whether you're in NSW, Tasmania, or anywhere else in the country — every MP needs to hear, in their own words, from their own constituents, that licensed shooters are organised, paying attention, and not going anywhere.
Two minutes of your time now is worth more than a submission after the laws are already locked in.
