Thoughts for The Week By Ron Owen. Firearms, The Law, & Equality


Persecution.
We all should question why over 2 million licensed shooters in Australia, people who are the pillars of our community, who have had the most stringent background checks, paid thousands of dollars for licences, safety courses, and security are the most bullied members of our community. (https://acic.govcms.gov.au/sites/g/files/net1491/f/acic_2016-17_annual_report.pdf?v=1508387578 page 132 puts us at 2.02 million licences with 6.03 million registered firearms)
If anyone is in doubt of this just check out the above website we are all listed and counted on the Australian Criminal Commissions Data Base, you can expect police inspections, you can be told that you have to attend more club shoots, you can be told to dispose of your property and when you want to purchase a firearm in Queensland and your waiting for a licence you can expect a response like this “applications have dramatically increased and we are looking at 13+ weeks before anything is really done, call back in three months”.
Not as prevalent, but same arrogant “modus operandi” ‘Permits to Acquire’ are continually delayed for many weeks after the time stipulated by the Weapons Regulation 2016,
101 Waiting period for decision on application for permit to acquire
(1) This section prescribes the period for section 42 of the Act.
(2) The period is 28 days after the day the applicant lodged the application for the permit to acquire the weapon.
(3) However, the period is the remainder of the day on which the applicant lodged the application for the permit, if—
(a) the applicant already holds a firearm under a licence; or
(b) an authorised officer is satisfied there are exceptional circumstances.
So why do licenced shooters who have a firearm on their licence have to wait for weeks on end for the PTA that they have bought and paid for? If our government cannot make an imposition work, under the law that they enforce on us, it should not be imposed.
Our politicians should be told in direct terms that the law that they have voted on and impose on us should apply in all cases to everyone. That the Regulation 101 that states that the “period (time) is the remainder of the day on which the applicant lodged the application” has the same force and creates a Duty of compliance as.
Regulation 58 Duty of licensed dealer or licensed armourer if weapons register is a computer register
(2) The armourer or dealer must, no later than the seventh day of each month—
(a) produce a print-out of the part of the register that records information about transactions that took place in the previous month; and
Maximum penalty—10 penalty units.
We Should be All Equal Under the Law.
If we licenced dealers, armours, collectors and shooters can be charged under these regulations, dragged through the injustice system, and fined, lose our firearms, our property, for ignoring a Duty, a time limit imposed by the Regulations in Section 58, then so should the Queensland Police Service, such as the Commissioner or the Authorised Officer, or the civilian staff that work in Weapons Licencing should be prosecuted by the State on the same basis and suffer the same in justice. They should have to pay for their own legal representation and pay their own fines. The law of the land should be applied to us all equally, not a law for the Police and another law for People.
If the licenced shooter is a few days late for a renewal, then your licence is revoked, your property has to be handed in and you have to pay an extra application fee and re apply. The Queensland Police, Weapons Licencing appear to be a law all to themselves, they treat the law as their knife to twist it into law abiding firearm owners. We must remind our local Representatives, who are our Members of Parliament that their job is not to represent their party, but it is to Re Present (represent) the problems of the constituent to the House of Parliament.
He, or She has the ability to speak directly to the Minister of Police and get an answer in reply within 48 hours. If not they can, on your behalf ask the question to the Minister in Parliament. That question can be as plain as a description of the above breech of the Weapons Regulations 2016 and they can ask why the culprits, in Weapons Licencing are not being prosecuted?
Maltreatment.
Just recently we had a customer that applied to Weapons Licencing for a Permit to Acquire and he naturally thought it would be quicker if he ticked the box for the PTA to be faxed to Owen Guns. He waited weeks, and weeks and heard nothing from Weapons Licencing, or Owen Guns. Owen Guns had not received the faxed copy of his PTA and have no way of even inquiring about not yet issued PTA forms, the first any Gun shop knows about a PTA fax, is when they arrive in the machine. The customer phoned Owen Guns and then Weapons Licencing eventually, weeks later told the customer that his PTA had been sent to Owen Guns. Owen Guns had at no time received this fax from Weapons licencing, hundreds of others but not this one.Naturally the customer asked Weapons Licencing to fax a copy again, but they refused and told the customer to re-apply if he wanted to still purchase his firearm as they will not send it twice.
Serfdom.
The customer was a policeman and did not want to complain to his local member as it would cause problems with his employment, so in a way he is enslaved to a further degree than those of us who are at least free to complain. However, how many other people are so intimidated by our masters that they will not make a formal complaint to the Representatives? These local MPs are the people who vote to impose this slavery on law abiding firearm owners and if we do not tell them that the system is going very wrong, they will continue to use the rod on our backs.
Tyrannies Tools.
How does the 100,000 combined membership of Australia’s political parties enslave 2 million licenced firearm owners, just one of our associations has 186,000 members, this dwarfs the largest political party in Australia the Liberal Party that at best has 50,000 members?
What is the great tool that they use to keep us in their legislative chains?
The answer to that, is our Apathy and Appeasement, but the catalyst is propaganda by the mainstream media as they manufacture both the cause and the effect.
The Manufacture of Consent. We Taxpayers pay for our own Propaganda Chains.
The greatest aids to State propaganda are the State Television Channels, they are aided by the Bank (via loans for Shares to various billionaires, whom they make or break, such as Skase, Bond, Murdock) owned television channels.

The Power of State Propaganda Is Easy To Prove.
Adolph Hitler knew and used all of his propaganda machines to support that doctrine, his genius of propaganda Dr Joseph Gobbals who admitted openly, with these two quotes, “The truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise. This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.”

The Blatant Bias of the State Channels Are Easy To Prove
When it comes to the ABC and SBS the Prime government allows them to run an information protection racket shielding its flavoured information from open scrutiny and vigorous debate.

Its like the ‘Politburo’ discussing if they should continue to implement Communism. If the consequence were not so tragic it would be comical.
Besides, constant attacks of lawful firearm ownership, the ownership of property and the rights of self defence, with every Terror Attack they will never, ever, mention Islam, Muslims, ISIS they will skip all of that to tell you that peacefull demonstrations are rioting Neo Nazis, they will show some pathetic starving women and children as refugee’s when really they are ISIS warriors waiting to go on leave in our suburbs.
It is not news that the ABC is Fake News, What is News is that ABC Fakery Factory has government approval.
That the ABC is Fake News is not new. What’s new is that the ABC’s fakery is now entrenched. Taxpayers finance this ABC factory that produces lies like the ones shown in that truthful brilliant movie “Wag The Dog” on a daily basis, it lies by omission, distorts by selection and excludes inconvenient truths. The ABC and SBS is now the gumshield of socialist, activists dedicated to the destruction of Australia and the whole Western Civilisation. Its reporting of events feed the gullible audiences a deliberately pink and green perspective on all topics.
Nowhere is this more obvious than its protection of Islam. No discussion of the vicious expansionist objectives of the Islamists is allowed in programmes; news coverage successfully suppresses facts on which viewers and listeners might draw conclusions unfavourable to Muslims.
“You’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
Some Examples.
A) The attack on pedestrians in Barcelona. The ABC sent two senior reporters from London to cover the aftermath of the atrocity. Over several days of reporting nightly they managed to avoid mentioning Islam which was the ideology that energized the perpetrators.
B) Ten hours after ISIS had claimed responsibility for running down men, women and children with a truck, the ABC’s 7pm TV news bulletin aired this exchange: News anchor Jeremey Fernandez: “What more do we know about who carried out this attack?” Senior reporter James Glenday: “Police are focusing on the 17-year-old driver of the van, but they believed that as many as eight people have been involved in the planning of the attack here.” A deliberate avoidance of the direct question.

This refusal to call out Islamic terrorists, ISIS, the Caliphate or other extreme Muslims is now endemic. Ever since the first Paris attacks, when correspondents Barbara Miller and Lisa Millar danced cleverly around the question of responsibility, ABC News has worked tirelessly to avoid naming Muslims or Islam.
When President Trump had been miss informed and suggested that there was violence from both sides in the streets, he gave new cause to attack his “white supremacy”. So we were served by the ABC with replays of the mother of Heather Heyer, killed in a deliberate car crash: “She went to the demonstration to make the world a better place.” This sanctimonious gush encapsulates the ABC’s policy of replacing facts with sentimentality.
C) The Charlottsville riot was a heaven-sent event with which to beat the alternative philosophy of the right wing. This began with the Left campaign which was building for months, if not years, to remove all historical traces of the South’s part in the Civil War, its flag and its champions. Completely ignoring the incitement of the hard-left of communism the Southern Poverty Law Centre, the ABC deliberately characterized the events as an upsurge of Nazism and white supremacy.
The ABC’s Aboriginal propagandist, (with a deeper sun tan than he had in passed years) Stan Grant, has now picked up the torch from his American anti-statue heroes. He has taken aim at the James Cook statue in Sydney’s Hyde Park, “Americans are tearing down the monuments to hate, but we remain oblivious to ours.” he states.
What hate did poor old Captain Cook have?
Grant’s unsubtle stirring divides Australia by perpetrating the myth of Aboriginal cultural equality. He dares not admit that, for the civilised world, Australia and its stone-age inhabitants simply did not exist. He will not acknowledge that, as the skilled navigator mapped the east coast of Australia, he was meeting nomadic peoples who culturally, socially, economically and technologically had merely marked time for thousands of years. He omits to mention that Aboriginals would not exist today if British settlement had Not occurred, as the Maoris, or Japanese would have taken Australia and wiped out all the local inhabitants.
The ungrateful spites like Stan Grant pick away at symbols such as Australia Day now, but they are not far from tearing at the deeper foundations of our modern society. Grant’s spurious call for an end to what he terms the “great silence” about our indigenous history is merely self-promotion, via a coded call for hate.
Treason Re -visited.
As law abiding firearm owners who for many years have experienced, a very confusing aspect of the National/ Liberal Party which has been their continued penchant for betrayinng their traditional allies and kissing their enemies backsides. Yet again, with the ABC/SBS is another example of how the National /Liberals Party delivers their membership the slops and gives pots of gold to their sworn enemies. But Why?
In 2013 Sunshine Coast University research found that 73.6 per cent of ABC journalists support Labor or the Greens or voted for the Greens. As Chris Kenny wrote in The Weekend Australian, the “federal vote ceiling” for the Greens is just over 10 per cent. On those figures, the ABC’s staff profile is highly unrepresentative of the Australian general public. That was reported in, www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/columnists/jennifer-oriel/diversity-of-thought-practically-whitewashed-by-pc-ideology/news-story/9d16179ec45fe24f6b05072f64540ec7
Over the years ABC insiders have said that this bias is indeed entrenched in the organisation. Let me offer just three representative quotes here. Some two decades ago ABC presenter and homosexual Robert Dessaix actually said this:
“The political correctness of the ABC is extraordinary. There’s no leeway in anything to do with race or gender or politics. There is only one attitude you can have to Aborigines, to multiculturalism and to feminism. I have to tailor what I say to the reigning ideology of the ABC. As for career prospects in this bastion of gay men and feminists, heterosexual males may as well go and commit suicide.”
Around 13 years ago another homosexual and ABC regular, David Marr put it this way:
“The natural culture of journalism is kind of vaguely soft-Left inquiry sceptical of authority. I mean, that’s just the world out of which journalists come. If they don’t come out of that world, they really can’t be reporters. You know, just find another job.”
How many more quotes along these lines are needed? How many more studies are needed? The ABC is full of secular lefties, many of whom hate law abiding firearm owners, hate Christianity and hate any type of individualis. Is it any wonder we find all this bigotry and bias spewing forth from the ABC on a daily basis?
Just in case all that does not yet convince you about the secular left’s stranglehold on the ABC, consider this massively revealing bit of information:
“Why does the Left media protect the Labor and Green Propaganda?”
Because the political commentators of the Left media are either intermingled or married to the left politicians. It’s a family thing and they protect their own.
Greg Combet (Labor) partnered to Juanita Phillips (ABC).
Gai Brodtmann (Labor) married to Chris Uhlmann (ABC).
David Feeney (Labor) married to Liberty Sanger (guest commentator on ABC).
Barrie Cassidy (ABC) former speech writer for Bob Hawke (Labor) from 1986-1991 married to Heather Ewart (ABC).
Maxine McKew (ABC) married to Bob Hogg (former ALP national secretary).
Virginia Trioli (ABC) married to Russell Skelton (The Age).
Mark Kenny (Fairfax) married to Virginia Haussegger (ABC).
Christine Wallace (ABC & Fairfax) married to Michael Costello (former Chief of Staff to Labor’s Kim Beazley).
Annabel Crabb (former Fairfax journalist now with the ABC).
Tony Jones (ABC) married to Sarah Ferguson (ABC). Coincidentally Jones took over the Lateline role from Maxine McKew (from ABC presenter to Labor politician).
David Penberthy (journalist) married to Kate Ellis (Labor).
Paul Kelly (former Fairfax journalist) formerly married to Ros Kelly (Labor).
Kerry O’Brien (ABC) former press secretary to Gough Whitlam.
Mark Colvin (ABC) married to Michelle McKenzie (Leichhardt deputy-mayor and Greens Councillor).
Denis Atkins (ABC Insiders regular) married to Melanie Christensen (ABC Canberra).
Paul Barry (ABC) married to Lisa McGregor (ABC).
The atrocious Mike Carlton (formerly Fairfax) and Morag Ramsay (ABC).
Andrew Fraser (Fairfax) and Catriona Jackson (formerly Fairfax and Labor press secretary).
And so the list goes on.
Labor, Fairfax and the ABC are joined at the hip.
Hollywood The Heart Of Darkness.
The ABC propaganda machine is only a part leading part of the problem Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry itself is overabundant in the same left wing swamp.
Professor Paul Wilson Bond University and ABC Anti Firearm spokesman sentenced to 18 months for having sex with children.
How could creeps like Professor Paul Wilson, one of the ABC anti gun heros or Rolf Harris, Jimmy Saville and the likes of Harvey Weinstein get away with their crimes in such a public area, why were they protected for in some cases 40 years? Now that their has been a change of direction in US politics more creeps are being uncovered Harvey Weinstein is now facing criminal charges, amid accusations of rape, as more and more women speak up and complain about his abuse such as these three.
Dawn Dunning: “He Said He Would Help Me, He Was, He Wanted to Help Me.”
Katherine Kendall: “I Thought, Wow, He’s Going to Be A Mentor for Me.”
Louisette Geiss: “I said, you know, I would go up and meet with you in your office but you are not allowed to touch me and he said ‘ahaha’ and kind of laughed it off …” CNN (US), 12 October, 2017
But, how did he get away with it for so long?
Well, back here in Australia, News Corp columnist Miranda Devine had the answer:
She said, “Weinstein represents all that’s wrong with the Left.”The Daily Telegraph, 11 October, 2017

Miranda Devine said, bizarrely, it was Weinstein’s left-wing politics that had kept him off the hook. Including his friendship with Hillary Clinton and President Obama. And his donations to the Democrats. But Miranda Devine’s explanation on 2GB radio was even more precise than that:
MIRANDA DEVINE: “The left has a massive protection racket going. And you can see it works in Australia as well, it’s not just Hollywood …”
So, nothing to do with Weinstein’s money and power, or his ability to make and break female stars? “NO stated Miranda Devine it is, far more sinister”. 2GB, Nights with Steve Price, 10 October, 2017
MIRANDA DEVINE: ” if you bow to the altar of their sort of grab bag of causes, the sort of identity politics causes, the LGBTIQ and racism and feminism and open borders, abortion, and feminism, climate change, how can you forget that …”
MICHAEL MCLAREN: “Feminism, climate change, yes …”
MIRANDA DEVINE: … “being anti-Christian, all that stuff … But if you do all of that then you can get away with blue murder and you buy yourself protection …
Complain about Immigration and you are a Racist.
Dick Smith claimed in an interview with Fairfax Media that both Labor and Liberal politicians have told him privately that they agree with his calls to cut immigration to avoid future social and environmental fracturing.
But he claimed they were afraid to speak out publicly because the ABC will label them ‘Racist’.”This is warping our democratic process, it is basically treasonous,” he said.
He claims ABC television’s news and current affairs has deliberately ignored his campaign over the issue. Last month, Smith spent $1 million on his version of the “Grim Reaper” AIDS adverts as a warning against population growth.

ABC Media Watch host Paul Barry defends Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s and writes off her Anzac Day comments as just “tactless”.
Abdel-Magied used to present a round-up of ABC news on Saturday morning. She’s also appeared as a guest on Q&A and The Drum. And she partly owes those roles to being Muslim, black and a woman. This is only one of many  instances of the ABC being both racist and pro-Muslim in its hiring.
But think this through. The ABC has hired this inexperienced and unwise 26 year old on the understanding that she is Muslim, which sends her a message. Stay Muslim, or else your job is in danger.
Then there are the ABC’s other similar hirings of celebrity Muslims. There’s Waleed Aly and his wife Susan Carland, with Maha Abdo and Silma Ihram appearing regularly as ABC panellists. Note that all the women covering their heads. The ABC seems to have no interest in hiring women who have left Islam or who have their head uncovered and thus are not identifiably Muslim. No Muslim feminists.
This means the ABC promotes a relatively strict form of Islam, and largely uncritically. It does not give the same promotion to any other faith, including ones less hostile to our values and freedoms.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), is now either outrightly dedicated to, or at least heavily skewed in its presentation towards servicing the needs of the left wing agenda; in fact, its blatant bias has become something of a national joke, but its not funny it is deadly dangerous and very powerful, it affects the politicians, the Courts, the police and will promote apathy and appeasement within our own communities. Our national broadcasters serve no purpose now other than to carry out the full philosophy of Dr Goebbels “It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise. This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.”

Otto and Elise Hampel
Just imagine the nightmare, as you wake up to all what going wrong but are unable to do anything about it. Like the example of Otto and Elise Hampel a working-class couple who in 1940 awoke to the fact that they were enslaved by the Third Reich that the system of government was morally wrong and corrupt and because they had no other method of communication open to them carefully created a simple method of protest while living in Berlin during World War II. The Hampels undertook efforts to encourage resistance against the Third Reich. They hand-wrote over 200 postcards, dropping them into mailboxes and leaving them in stairwells in Berlin, often near Wedding, where they lived. The postcards urged people to refuse to cooperate with the Nazis, to refrain from donating money, to refuse military service, and to overthrow Hitler. Although all but 18 of these postcard were immediately brought to the Gestapo, it took two years for the Gestapo to find the couple.

It made no difference that Otto Hampel had served in the German Army in World War One. Otto openly admitted it, to try to save his wife and declared to the police that he was happy to be able to protest against Hitler and the Third Reich. At trial at the Volksgerichtshof, the Nazi “People’s Court”, the Hampels were convicted of Wehrkraftzersetzung and of “preparing for high treason”they were both tried, and decapitated by guillotine in Berlin’s Plötzensee Prison in April 1943.
Judge Roland Freisler sentenced the Hamples to death, Which was his finding in 90% of his cases.
The Hampels surely knew how hopeless it was to go up against the might of the Nazi machine but they still decided that if they did not at least try to do something about the situation then nothing would truly happen to change anything. They believed that if they could throw a small part of sand into the machine it would slowly grind to a halt. It did not work and showed how successful the propaganda machine was when only 18 out of 230 were not handed to the police.
I know that I could never be as brave as they were. What brave people Otto& Elise Hampel to stand up for truth when there country men were to scared to do anything to bring down that tyranny.
That is why the State left wing propaganda from the ABC and other media outlets should not be a national joke, if this propaganda machine is not curtailed we or our children will be in the same situation as Mr and Mrs Hampel. Where will we find their bravery, their spirit to resist when all are infected by the virus of State media control.
This problem suppresses freedom in Australia, this allows the government to rule by defusing our culture our way of life. Our only chance is for the Australian Shooting Sports to create and build our own media channel something that can shine the spotlight on the Truth.
There is no Spring without Winter, without Mistakes there is no Learning. There is no Life without Death, without Doubts there is no Faith. There is no Peace without War, without Fear there is no Courage. For without Mistakes, Doubts and Fears there are no pathways to Wisdom.

Voting For Your Rights, By Ron Owen.

Thoughts For The Week.
On election day 25th November 2017, either the 600,000 licenced shooters of Queensland will work together, to put Labor, LNP and Greens at the bottom of the voting ticket and pro firearm ownership candidates at the top, and giving the forces against us the biggest electoral defeat since Barrie Unsworth (NSW) in March 1988, or we will be further tyrannised for another 25 years. We have been waiting for this golden opportunity for a quarter of a century. If we cannot do it this time we do not deserve another chance.
Get Political for Two Weeks and Make a Difference to Our Future.
Never have the forces of evil been in such disarray. Never has it been so open and shut, we either work to put the minor pro shooting parties and independents in a coalition to improve our plight, or follow your family voting pattern, (vote LNP or Labor or Green) then hand your guns in, or go live in New Zealand. You are either with us, or against us.
Now, is the Time.
Now is the Time to get political, even if you have to miss out on a few shooting events.
Firstly, and most importantly contact candidates and check their credentials. Ask them to convince you that they will persistently work to achieve
A. The end of long arm registration,
B. For the individual right of law abiding citizens to own firearms (semi autos, pumps hand guns) as of right and suitable for their needs,
C. For the individual right of all law abiding citizens to use firearms to defend their lives, family and property.

If you do nothing else, that small effort of canvassing candidates will cause change, as that will alert candidates to which issue they won or lost the election.
Secondly, chose a candidate to assist, put some signs out for them, offer to hand out how to vote cards for them. Write letters to the editor of local papers, they should be swamped with letters, share all pro gun articles on social media and most importantly ‘verbalise’, speak out, to all your friends and family about the importance of voting the right way. Explain to all, the importance of filling out every square on the voting paper, as this is full preferential voting, this gives the minor parties and independents the best opportunity of gaining seats.
First Past the Post system of voting gives the major parties an advantage as
in a five candidate election a party with 22% of the vote can have a majority
and 78% of the electorate can hate his guts. When second and third preferences are counted if the candidate does not get over 50% of the first preferences that does not happen and a candidate that is more suited to
most of the peoples ideas wins.
If LNP, Labor or Greens gain power we will have another four years of the Queensland Police making policy to suit themselves from their ivory tower that is built on our backs, paid for by the impositions of fees and charges for our innocence under their dogmatic indolence.
When deciding who to put last out of Labor, LNP and Greens, you have to punish the sitting member out of the three by putting them last as they will have the chance of needing your preference.

The LNP have to be counted as in Coalition with Labor. They Vote with Labor, so they are Labor.
In an article printed in several Queensland newspapers where in a meeting with LNP Members of Parliament, Tony Perrett MP (our local member) and Dr Christian Rowan MP for Moggill and Shadow Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection I was correctly quoted as stating,
“Most of the shooters will not vote for them (LNP) anyway” the article did not include the reasons why shooters will not vote for the LNP, which had been the subject intensely discussed at this meeting with Tony Perrett MP and Dr Christian Rowan.
Furthermore to the John Howard “Great Firearm Theft of 1996/7 and the Hand Gun Theft of 2003”, which were implemented by the National Party, Russell Cooper and Tim Fischer where both voted with Labor. Again Tim Nichols LNP has recently twice voted with Labor to oppose primary producers’ rights to
own Category H firearms then voted again to support the Labor party’s Weapons Legislation (Lever Action Shotguns NFA) Amendment Regulation
2017.

If the LNP votes with Labor, if they have mutually beneficial deals with Labor they are part and parcel of Labor, we have to deal with them the same way we deal with Labor, we vote against them.
Admittedly, our local member, Tony Perrett, was a champion and at the above mentioned vote on October 11th on the NFA, he crossed the floor and voted
with the Katter Party and One Nation Party. We all here in Gympie, hoped that he would have stood as an Independent for the forthcoming election, but he has chosen to remain with the LNP and as his party has caused so much pain for law abiding firearm owners, we cannot vote for the LNP, or Labor, or the Greens. I admire Mr Perrett for crossing the floor and would always want to count him as one of my friends, but cannot help him, as that would assist the LNP who will always betray firearm owners.
The Great Carrot.
On November 2, 2017 LNP Shadow Minister for the Environment Christian Rowan MP announced in Gympie that the LNP would grant a lease of the land in the Curra State Forest, and provide $150,000 grant to the Cooloola Range Complex Association Inc to progress this facility. (Since that time One Nation has given the Association a written pact that if they have the balance of power Cooloola Range Complex Association would get the range complex site and $500,000 to build a world class facility.)
As I am the president of the Cooloola Range Complex Association Inc this announcement was made at the Owen Guns business premises, with Mr Perrett in attendance. Of course, as the campaign to regain our centrefire shooting range in Gympie has been a 25 year battle, I was very pleased to hear that news and told them so, but also reminded them that their LNP government had been in power several times during the last 25 years and last time in 2012, the minister had even given an Agreement in Principle, but continually delayed and procrastinated, preventing the project from proceeding. We also are fully aware that the only reason that we are getting this promise after 25 years is that the ‘One Nation party’ is now a real threat to their seats in the house of parliament. Without the rise of One Nation the promise would not have been forthcoming. This promise is only on the proviso that the LNP wins the forthcoming election.
Betrayal.
I reminded Mr Perrett and Dr Rowan that as the LNP had betrayed the firearm owners yet again and had twice voted with the Labor Party to impose further impositions on law abiding firearm owners their chances of re-election were greatly reduced and that as we spoke the firearm industry and shooting associations were raising a million dollars to ensure their electoral demise.
The Nurenberg Defence.
Dr Rowan suggested that in politics everything was a trade-off, a compromise and that he felt that even though he knew what they were voting for was wrong, the LNP was a better alternative than Labor and to do some good he had to stick with the LNP.

I reminded him that what he had described was in legal circles called the Nuremberg defence, where German Nazi SS soldiers admitted to knowing that they had done wrong, but blamed their superior officers for making the decisions.
That defence failed at the Nuremberg trials and those soldiers were hanged, under the ‘common law principle’ that if you know you’re doing wrong then you are a part of it and share the guilt.
Mr Perrett knew that further impositions on law abiding firearm owners was against the wishes of his electorate and blatantly diametrically opposed to the LNP’s own firearm policy so he took the correct course and became the first and last LNP member to cross the floor of the 55th Parliament.
The rest of the LNP members followed the party dictates, followed the orders in the same way as those German soldiers and like them have to accept the consequences.
Let us hope on the evening of the 25th November that the consequences of following the party orders ‘knowing they committed a wrong’, results in a loss of seats and losing government. As they will remember this mistake for the rest of their lives.

Is Firearm Ownerships a Right or Responsibility?
As at times we all have to debate the reasons for Firearm Ownership with
people who for many reasons have only had emotional negative thoughts about firearms so we need to identify the correct logic in our philosophy so we can properly communicate to people who have had no experience with firearms. A friend of mine raised the issue as a question,
Is Firearm Ownerships a Right or Responsibility?
A Right, or a Responsibility? I believe it is Both.
Because it is in the same way that Day follows Night.
If not a Right, it is certainly a Responsibility,
as if you do not believe that you have a Right to defend your own life, you may Wrongly allow someone else to choke you to death.
That cannot be Right so the opposite has to be Right.
So if you have a Responsibility to defend your life and to defend the lives of others such as your children, or your aged parents, and not to go quietly into the night, in the gas chamber queue.
So it would be wrong, for someone to prevent you from carrying out your Responsibilities so it is a Right. Surely people can see that a country has a Right to defend itself. If it does not, a foreign enemy could commit genocide on the whole population. The government, or the leaders of that nation have a responsibility to defend their nation in the same way that a father has the responsibility to defend his family. Once that conclusion is made then its is only a choice in how that defence is carried out.
Question                                                                           Answer
Do we believe that our Defence is instantly available via a mobile phone?                                                                                NO!
Do we really believe that Assistance is only 15 minutes away?                                                                                 NO! 
(when you could be dead in 15 seconds)
Does the State have a Responsibility to Defend You?                                                                                   NO!
Does the Police have a Responsibility to Defend You?                                                                                     NO!
Do Gun Free Zones have a Responsibility to Defend You?                                                                                     NO!
Does the Church have a Responsibility to Defend its parishioners?                                                                                                    NO!
Does the Cinema or Mall or Café have a Responsibility to Defend You?                                                                                     NO!
Do the people have a Responsibility to defend themselves?                                                                           YES!
Who Ultimately has the Responsibility to defend you?      ONLY YOU!
Your life is a precious gift, and just like any precious gift, you have the Responsibility to care for that and treat that life with the proper respect.
We all know that initiating violence is not an appropriate thing to do, violence when used in defence of self or others, is not only Right, but a required Responsibility.
‘Ethics’ hallow the principle of self-defence as both a right and an obligation, a responsibility. ‘Ethics’ also stress our moral duty to defend others against violent attacks.
To be sure, guns may be misused to injure or kill innocent people, but evil doers have killed and injured since time immemorial and did not need guns, after all, Cain killed Abel with his bare hands! In Biblical times, the slogan might well have been, “Swords don’t kill people. People kill people.” Swords were used to commit genocide, wipe out the populations of entire countries. Of course guns can do the same, but the main difference is that before the firearm was invented the strongest person with the axe or sword won every confrontation but when the equaliser, the firearm became available it made all equal, strength was no more the massive advantage. Now, firearm ownership can and will overcome brute strength.
Crime Rates Fall As Firearm Ownership Increases.
Australia 2.02 million licences and 6.03 million firearms is increasing annually by 27.5 %, while crime rates fall?
Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (You Read it Right, We Are Criminals Registered and Counted by a Commission with a responsibility for Listing know Criminals.
ACIC 2016–17 Annual Report
https://www.acic.gov.au/…/net1491/f/acic_2016-17_annual_rep…
NFLRS (National Firearms Licence and Registration System)
NATIONAL FIREARMS LICENSING AND REGISTRATION SYSTEM
“This system helps build the picture of firearm licence and registration information across the country. It is used to ensure compliance with firearm registration. The system helps firearm registries view the licence and registration information held by other states and territories, including firearm licence holders, licensed firearm dealers, registered firearms.”
During 2016–17:
.. there was a total of 6.03 million firearm records
.. there was a total of 2.02 million licence records
One Crooked Cop Can Sell The Lot.
This is another reason to stop firearm Registration, even if it was up to date and we know that its not, the information that they keep has no relevance to Criminals or Crime it just records the good people whose information and privacy can be sold to the highest bidder in any country of the world that is involved in Interpol. One crooked cop can sell the lot.  Lets hope we can begin to wind this nonsense back after 25th November 2017.

Is the Australian Government a registered Corporation in the USA?!


Is the Australian Government a registered corporation? As I understand it, and I must admit that I am not in any way legally minded or very knowledgeable in regards to politics, the idea of a corporation is to make money for it's investors. Now Australian citizens are not investors in a monetary sense IF the Australian Government is a corporation. So, we can't earn any dividends from this corporation, but it is in the interest of the corporation NOT to spend money unless it can also make money.

Funding cuts to public services are obviously making money for someone, but certainly not us. Money spent of firearms registration comes out of our pockets, and again is not for our benefit. Money spent on gun control and gun confiscation is again payed for from our taxes, but again does not benefit us in any way or form. We work all our lives, and part of the deal was that we get a pension when we retire, but again, pensions have been cut and the retirement age extended! All this is putting money into the government coffers, but we the law abiding citizens are not receiving any benefits.
So, can anyone throw any light on this Australian government corporation thing? Is it fact or fiction? Is the Australian government a USA registered corporation?

Thoughts For The Week By Ron Owen.


Thoughts For The Week.
2017. An election in Queensland which offers to change our nation and will vibrate and inspire the world. That is of course, “IF” the apathetic Firearm Owners of Queensland turn the telly off and aid the people who support them, to replace those corrupt puppets of the internationalist. A very big “IF” of course, but the key has turned.  The 2016 Federal election where 22 % of the voters excluded the major parties, Brexit, Trump, Le Pen, Geert Wilders are showing that the mainstream media is losing its grip on the minds of the people. They call it populist, but it’s the internet that exposes the fake news that has been rammed down our throats on the 6 o’clock news.
Do YOU Want A Free Country Again.
The 2 million licensed shooters in Australia can make this happen. At the last federal election there were 13 million voters and our shooting companions are nearly 18 % of them, that is enough for us to chose which government rules this country.
We are now the largest single interest group on the Australian political landscape, we just have to be the best organised lobby group.
Of course the main party hacks will bring out that old furphy, ‘if the aircraft is having a few problems would you ask farmer plod sitting in the back economy seats to come and fly the plane.’  Besides, it’s not being relative and just an rhetorical trick, if we made a simile between the plane and our country, our pilots – sold out to another country, baled out and left us in a screaming power dive towards the rocks, anyone who pulled up the joy stick and levelled up the plane would be appreciated and loved by all the passengers.
“Get out, with the only parachutes before it hits the Rocks.”
We do not need professional politicians, we need honesty. Not political guile, we need commitment to our cause, or we are wasting our time and energy.
The LNP, knows it has to oppose the Adler Ban or it will drive 600,00 voters into supporting One Nation. They also know that if they oppose it, as the numbers are not there for their Labour Government either the Premier dumps the National Firearm Agreement (betrayal) and keeps governing or has to go to an election.
—————————————–
Read the Latest NFA 2017 click this link and then Contact both your State and Federal MPs. Because you won’t be happy. This document is not Law, its not Legislation, its just your politicians have agreed to impose it on Law Abiding Citizens. You can stop this, tell your friends.
—————————————-
One Nation is changing its policy to reflect the end of the NFA, the end of Permits to Acquire, if it does not do this soon we have a host of other new parties to chose from. Just direct your preferences away from the international socialists and vote for KAP or Shooters Party, or Liberal Democrats. In Queensland, instead of an Adler Ban we have an election, and an election that more than likely will ensure that the Adler Ban never happens. An election that turns this whole country around.
We might not get the leader this country needs in this election, but we have a chance to take back our country from international policies, so we must work for it. They were imposed on us like a black cloud in 1996 and the suppression became worse in 2003, if we break it in Queensland the NFA will fall apart like a deck of cards.
The Rights our forefathers won with blood, four hundred years ago, the right to defend our families and ourselves, the right to own the property gained by our effort, the right to chose who we allow into our country, the rights to freedom of speech. All were taken from us within those few years. It has been a long road back, but now we have the numbers and at last the people have the ability to freely view what is happening in the world, instantly.
The people of Australia need a genuine leader like the ex coal miner Andrew Fisher, Member for Gympie who established the Commonwealth Bank, The Royal Australian Navy, who fought for the ‘White Australia Policy’ and resigned as Prime Minister when his own party wanted National Conscription. He might not have been right on all issues, but he was a fierce patriot and had the courage of his own personal convictions. We don’t want our leaders changing the original oath to go into parliament, we don’t want them taking the oath on the Koran or giving allegiance to Islam, or the United Nations.

We need a leader that can prove that they have a personal emotional bond to our country and its history. That they love Australia and its flag. That they love Australia from the depths of their heart and soul. That this country carved from the wilderness by our founding fathers will never submit, never give up its freedoms, never fall under the control of the internationalists, or Islamic’s.
A leader who will oppose blow for blow the extreme violence and restrictions of liberties that multiply throughout our country from the growth of Islamist fundamentalism. That they understand the worry of millions of parents each day about the state of our country and the world we will leave as a heritage to our children.
That they will fight to restore the ancient liberties, the rights to property, the right to defend oneself and their families, the right to defend that property, the right to free speech, that the punishment should fit the crime and not allow the victims to be confronted by criminals who are now defended by the law.
This leader must believe and say that they are first and foremost an Australian, that they personally understand the people’s misery, the feelings of insecurity, from perpetual violence. Australia has been torn apart by two savage dogs, criminals on one side and the government on the other.
Australians must chose either to continue with those who have lied, failed, and betrayed them, or decide to put Australia back in order and in the hands of the people.
They must say that they want to live in the old free Australia, a secure, prosperous, united, just, proud Australia.
It’s your choice, we now have the numbers, if you want it to happen, we have to get motivated, write to politicians inform them of your opinions, what you require of them, ask them what they are going to do about it. If you find one that you believe will do the job, work hard to get them elected, but vet them carefully.
For instance, in the current One Nation policy as of Sunday the 19th of February 2017 it still has the words, “Current gun laws are adequate and should remain unchanged”, Repeatedly, I have been informed by candidates and senior party officials that those words will be removed and a new policy will be circulated but nothing yet has occurred.
In the late 1990s we had a One Nation candidate in Gympie who had a meeting with all the local shooting clubs and pledged his allegiance to improve gun laws, we recorded the meeting, a few days later we had one of our members phone the candidate up making out that he was anti gun and that he did not want Australia to go like the USA. Of course our Gympie One Nation candidate swore black and blue that he was for strict gun controls and could not see any reason at all for anyone to own more than a shotgun or .22. This too, we recorded and sent both recordings to One Nations headquarters in Brisbane, asking for the candidate to be replaced. They would not do this, so we ensured that he was never elected for parliament. We shooters here in Gympie have helped One Nation in other electorates.
The Empire Builders.
Empire Building Police, minimise shooter licence numbers so that Politicians do not become afraid of the electoral fall out from Extreme Dictatorial Gun laws. Then maximise shooter licence numbers to 600,000 to explain why shooters wait for seven months for a licence, or when asking for more staff and a greater slice of the tax payers budget.
Shooters Union Queensland wrote to the Police Minister asking, How many licenced shooters were in Queensland? They were told that the 230,000 reported in the media was an incorrect figure as some shooters, such as pistol shooters had two licences. The real figure was 190,000.
When Firearm Designers Collectors Association Inc asked Weapons Licencing at a meeting in 2015, how many licenced Pistol Shooters were in Queensland we were told 6000. Yet they allowed 40,000 for the above doubling up on licences?
Would the Queensland Police really purposely lie to protect their Empire in Weapons licencing? It certainly seems that way.
In another question,
From: Kallangur Electorate Office [mailto:Kallangur@parliament.qld.gov.au]
Sent: Monday, 2 June 2014 4:04 PM

Subject: FW: Gun Licencing
Dear Charles
Please find below the response received from the Office of the Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency.
………
“Our position on weapons licences has not changed. ……..With 600,000 plus licences in Queensland alone, it is simpler for a delegated approving officer under the act (which is police) to approve a weapon or the licence at the time. …………… A weapons licence is for a specific category of weapon, and a PTA is for a specific weapon………”
………….
Hope this helps?
Judy Cochrane Electorate Officer for Trevor Ruthenberg MP Kallangur.
———-
When Queensland Police want to minimise the effect of the Firearm Vote to Politicians they have 200,000 shooting licences, when they want to maximise the amount of work to get more staff, or more money they have 600,000 shooting licences. Simple really, but this time they are not just lying to the media, or a shooting body, this time hopefully they have told the truth. As just after this licencing system began in Queensland back in 1997 Inspector Mc Comb OIC weapons branch reported that we had 195,000 shooter licences back then and the Police admitted for many years a 16 % increase, so on that increase it look like the 600,000 figure will be the correct one.
As The Police Minister has used that 600,000 figure in his letter, not just to Charles  but to his local Member of Parliament Trevor Ruthenberg MP and lying or just misinforming parliament is a big offence. They get removed from parliament for things like this.
The Queensland Police know well that 600,000 voters and their families and friends can change their world.  As only 2,445,815 voted at the last state election, Licenced Shooters could effect over half of those votes.
We are no longer a minority. On page 29 of the Crimtrac Annual reports 2015 there was 1.9 million licenced shooters in Australia and 5 million firearms.
…...........2011–12     2012–13     2013–14     2014–15        % increase annum
Total No of guns
                 4.4m     4.6m            3.7m           5,087,765          37%
Total No of Lic shooters
                N/A        1.7m            1.5m           1,912,188            27%
Latest figures from Crimtrac’s 2016 report, which due to amalgamating two separate systems delayed the reporting for the full year was Number of Firearms 5,798,980 and Number of licenced firearm owners 1,973,522.  We are now in 2017, their figures would be already a year old so we would have in excess of 2 million shooters in Australia. Many people still legally shoot as visitors at rifle ranges and clubs.  Many employees of farmers use firearms on their employers licence.
With 2,000,000 shooters in Australia, could there honestly be only 190,000 in Queensland, that’s less than 10 %, in one of the largest shooting states. Only NSW would have more than us, and Queensland has been inundated with ex-Victorians.
Further evidence as to large numbers was received in March 2016.
From Inspector Craig Rolls Manager Weapons licencing, QPS. In March (2016) this year he stated
“This figure represents a significant concern for Weapons Licensing as we are receiving approximately 350 applications a week, a 50% increase in the last 3 years and cannot continue to effectively process applications with this percentage, or a similar high percentage”
Note, he states a 50% increase in licence applications not 27 % as what was recorded Nationally in the Crimtrac Report.
Why does he say that this is a “significant concern”?  Well that equated to 18,200 applications per year and when it increases at 50% per year in five years time that is an extra 90,000 applications per year. That 18,200 applications per year is a statement in itself that the 190,000 figure is not enough.
Further Evidence that Queensland Police are playing ducks and drakes with the Firearm Register numbers is from our local MP.
In a Question On Notice, last sitting of parliament. Tony Perrett MP asked the Minister for Police, Mark Ryan,
“how many weapons licence holders there are (by category) in the Gympie Electorate,”
and in Queensland (broken down by post code)?
“Astonishingly, the Minister could not answer.
“He said that the body in charge of all our weapons licensing, the Queensland Police Service Weapons Licensing, had advised that the numbers were imprecise as multiple categories may be registered to one licence and multiple licences may be registered to one person.
“In other words they have absolutely no idea of how many weapons holders are in each region in Queensland.
Yet the Weapons Act 1990 says they have to know.
Division 4 Firearms register
49 Commissioner to maintain firearms register
(1) The commissioner must establish and maintain a record (the firearms register) of all firearms in Queensland.
Maintaining that register is the cause of all the pain and derision of Permits to Acquire, $37.00 fees and Form 10s, countless hours of time spent at Police Stations, and Police visits to your homes, checking that the guns on your list are registered to you.
Should the same penalty that applies to Firearm Dealers be applied to the Police Commissioner?
71 Licensed dealers and armourers to keep register
(1) A licensed dealer or licensed armourer must keep at the premises stated on the licence a weapons register. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units or 6 months imprisonment.
(2) A licensed dealer or licensed armourer must, for each transaction involving a weapon, enter immediately in the weapons register the particulars prescribed under a regulation.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units or 6 months imprisonment.
If they do not have precise numbers of licences, they must not know who has a licence, so what is the point of putting thousands of voters through the pain and derision of compliance?
This should cause flashing lights in a real journalist brain as it’s an obvious lie to cover up the numbers.
Then a few weeks ago we had Jackie Trad the Labour Deputy Premier using the tragedy of the Lindt Café siege to score political points again targeting law-abiding firearm owners.
Trad posted on her Facebook page on January 28, and tells her simple followers that “after the Martin Place siege, a coronial inquest found that a review needed to happen over lever-action shotguns, like the Adler shotgun”.
When in fact the Martin Place Siege Review Recommendations Page IX it stated.
6. The Commonwealth, States and Territories should simplify the regulation of the legal firearms market through an update of the technical elements of the National Firearms Agreement.”
And again
The Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee, on Ability of Australian law enforcement authorities to eliminate gun-related violence in the community. They met over an 18 month study and investigated over 400 submission, including submission from every State police force. In April 2015 it gave its findings in Commonwealth of Australia document ISBN 978-1-76010-187-9.
The findings by the majority of Senators was best finalised by their
Recommendation 5
“1.225 The majority of Senators attending the inquiry recommend State and territory governments investigate avenues to deregulate the firearm industry to ease the economic burden on governments, industry and legal firearm users.”

STOP THEM STEALING OUR RIGHTS AT THE NEXT ELECTION.
Yet again we have this Jackie Trad using law abiding firearm owners as the whipping post, not for an instant would she see the hypocrisy of her saying “That we should not discriminate against Muslims for the actions of a few”. When firearm owners are discriminated, fined, penalised, oppressed, property taken, when we are totally innocent. We are tired of being the ‘Scapegoats’ we are made to feel like their “Whipping Dogs’, when politicians have problem, they make excuses for the guilty and go out and Whip licensed firearm owners again. Yet again government is protecting the guilty and punishing the innocent. Governments for years have written to me and many of our FOAA members stating, “Strike a balance between the interests of licensed Gun Owners and the need of the broader community to live safely and securely”. Then they blame, the “Heightening threat environment.” yet instead of addressing the problem, Governments collectively have committed to import hundreds of thousands of more Islamic threats. So law abiding firearm owners suffer constantly for all governments decisions. Now is the time for change.
Bring on this election, work hard to remove the National Firearm Agreement, end Long Arm Registration and look forward to a return to the Australia we used to be proud of.
