Don’t Let Confiscations Happen again. Act NOW.
Action Required Now COAG MEETING is This October 2016.
On the 28th September 2016 members of Queensland Firearm
associations had two meetings with the Queensland Police Minister (Bill Byrne)
and an Acting Inspector from Weapons Licensing.
1. The question was raised more than once as to what recommendations
would be put forward from Queensland to the October COAG meeting on the
National Firearm Agreement, (they call it an agreement but we never agreed to
any of it) their answer was “Just to fix up wording in the regulations to make
it more workable for everyone”. Which did not explain why the Commonwealth had
previously refused to divulge these recommendations to a ‘Freedom of
Information’ request. See Owen Guns Bulletin Number 120. http://www.owenguns.com/owen-guns-bulletin-july-2016-edition-120/
The Commonwealth Government has refused FOI requests from Dr Samara
McPhedran, (Senior Research Fellow at Griffith University’s Violence Research
and Prevention Program,) who submitted a FOI in March 2016 to access the
documents. The FOI request was denied by Stephen Bouwhuis, Assistant Secretary
at the Attorney-General’s Department.
Mr Bouwhuis confirmed the documents existed, however refused to
disclose it. He said in a letter to McPhedran, “I do not consider that it would
be in the public interest to disclose this document”.
“The information contained in the document was communicated to the
Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department by or on behalf of state or
territory governments on a confidential basis, for the purposes of discussions
about the proposed agreement,” he said in the letter.
So if it is just to improve the wording in the legislation why object
to it being released to a formal reasonable FOI request?
2. Another question, “As we Dealers have a duty of care not to
sell products like lever action firearms if we know that the government is
going to confiscate them shortly. The government also has a duty of care to
fully inform the shooting public, if it is the Governments intention to change
the Category of lever Actions firearms to Category “C” it is failing in its
duty by not informing. Extremely worse than that, if it lets people buy them
and accepts their $37. Application for a Permit To Acquire Fee, then approves
the application, it is plainly defrauding the shooting public and no form of
compensation would address a deception such as that.” The Minister said that,
“Even though in 'his opinion' lever actions were far more devastating than Pump
Actions and he was sure that the intention of John Howard’s gun laws was to ban
them as well as pumps, the rest of the government did not agree with him, even
the Premier did not agree with him and so that banning, or re categorising
lever actions would not be a recommendation from Queensland to COAG.”
We are the section of the lawful community that see nothing wrong
with Minister Byrne firing his .22 calibre rifle at rats in the roof cavity of
his Rockhampton home. That is what RATSHOT is intended to be for. Even
discharging his firearm in front of his wife would not shock us at all..
3.He was then asked, “Why then was Weapons Licencing compiling a list
of all lever action owners in Queensland” his answer was, “Just to find out how
many licensed shooters had them in Queensland. He said that, “The Commonwealth
might proclaim an amnesty but Queensland had no dollars in their budget to
support it, and no one had any money for “Buy Backs”, that was just media hype.
(All feel good stomach massage, and then!!!)
(All feel good stomach massage, and then!!!)
4. He said, “Even if he went to the conference and gave an ‘agreement
in principle’ to the meeting that Queensland would accept legislation changes,
he would still return to Queensland consult with shooting associations and get
cabinets approval before confirming the agreement, and if their were any bans,
that their would not be a ‘Buy Back” they would just put a ‘grandfather
provision” in the act which would allow people to own them until they died”.
(This is still reprehensible as it removes the value to the ownership of that
property, once you cannot sell that property, it has no monetary value, if you
cannot leave the property of your estate to your chosen relatives, but they
must hand it over for destruction, the government has stolen it from you.)
If the Police Minister goes back on those words today, he may lose a
huge amount of credibility, with the shooters of Queensland. As the Queensland
Parliament, like the Commonwealth parliament is on a knife's edge majority,
which could fall with the removal of the Katter Party support without even
making it to an election. If an election is called disappointed firearm owners
could easily ensure that Labour was not re-elected to the government of
Queensland.
Shooters would still be the biggest losers, as we can never trust the
National/Liberals to honour a promise and would have to wait until one of the
new minor political movements has a majority. So please contact your local
members and Minister Bill Byrne before they make firm decisions on this matter.
Obviously, from the above spoken words, they have been having in-depth
discussions on the subject of banning lever actions by re-categorising them as
Cat C. It is only that their majority is so fine and they cannot afford to lose
a vote, that is protecting lever action owners and other firearm owners from
confiscations. It is always the balance of numbers, the major parties will
never do anything for us because, we have rights, or we are good people, they
want power, and they want the people without any power. They have read Mao
tse-Tung maxim, “Power comes from the barrel of a Gun” so they want all of the
Guns and all of the Power.

We have succeeded before, lets do it again even if you have written
already please do it again and invite all your friends and family to send an
email, a facebook message, a phone call or a tweet. Here is a link to all State and Federal Police Minister don’t forget to flick
your local member a copy as well as he should be made aware of what NOT to vote
for.
Dear Sir.
I am a licenced firearm owner, to keep that licence, I have to be a
model citizen. I will never give my vote for any political party that imposes
restrictions on the firearm ownership by good citizens. Furthermore, I will use
all the resources at my disposal to campaign and influence voters to make the
same choice as myself.

Please write an email to Bill Byrne the Police Minister and forward
it on to your local member and all the other members of cabinet. Please use
these current emails on our website’s electronic list to communicate your views
to him. Be firm, tell him you want horrendous impositions like PTA fees and
waiting for weeks removed and no further impositions, or restrictions placed on
your sport and hobby. It does not need anything fancy just a note to tell him
that you and your family and friends will never vote for them if they do not
unwind the current Gun laws. Every small contact with their office is another
number for our side, they count and remember. We have the numbers we must use
them for doing something good.Ron Owen.
