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.

“New” National Firearms Agreement.


I think the main purpose of this new national firearms agreement & indeed most of the past laws & legislation, is simply to make it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase & own a firearm. Now you need to ask yourself WHY would the government want to STOP us from owning a gun? What advantage is there to society in making it difficult for law abiding citizens to possess a firearm?

Thoughts For The Week By Ron Owen Of Owen Guns Australia.

Thoughts For The Week.
Ammunition To Send To Those Annoying Illogical Anti’s.
This is very well put, it expresses perfectly what I have wanted to write for more than 30 years. Please pass it about. It was originally written by Marko Kloos in March 23, 2007and published on the Munchkin Wrangler website. In 2009, it was published and wrongly ascribed to a Maj. L. Caudill (ret) who may not even exist.

The Gun is Civilization.
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via negotiation, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, a paradoxical as it may sound to some.
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a car load of drunken guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender. There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for an armed mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat–it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society.


A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly. Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force, watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favour of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation… and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
By Marko Kloos March 23, 2007
—————-
Prophesy for 2016, and how World Events will effect Shooting in Australia.

Sorry For the Doom and Gloom, but the Good News is at the end of the article.The Australian dollar will stabilise, but the full effect of the 2015. 35% loss, (as all our imports are paid for in USD, $105. down to .70) will still keep filtering through to further burden Australian shooters. Stock in Wholesalers and Retailer stores will run out and replacement prices will really hurt the industry. Some ignorant, wholesalers and retailers will welcome the higher prices, celebrating that the margin for profit will be greater, without thinking to hard, as they criticize low priced products for lack of profit. They cannot work it out that there customers spending power has been reduced overall, as everything they buy will have been effected by our dollar devaluation. Wages have not risen and the only slight decrease of prices has been in motor fuel. So this causes a lack of sales in Gun Shops, which in reality reduces retail margins for the Gun Shop owners. To compete for the customers reduced spending power Gun shops will be the meat in the sandwich, being torn apart between two dogs, increasing prices and decreasing margins.

Of course they have a few other dogs tearing at their hearts, Government/Police impositions on security and paperwork, Banks wanting an ever greater slice of the action and the most ferocious dog of all the government taxation.
GST 15% and Above?
Compounding the above problem is we are at the mercy of the salivating teeth of our elected representatives who now feel a need to increase GST from 10% of every thing we buy to 15 %. The politicians’s have realised that as they have sent all the jobs to China with the Free trade deal that both parties signed in 1974 the Lima Agreement they are receiving much less income tax and paying out billions more in Un employment payments, so there response if to copy Britains fatal mistake steal more from everyone pockets as they consume. This will take prices of all Shooting equipment up in an ever increasing spiral. They tell us it does not compound but it does, all services cop the increase in costs, fuel, paper, computers and most can never be redeemed, the only way business can survive is to add it on the bottom line. The message here is, if you have any financial resources buy now, as it is never going to be cheaper. Of course it creates even more corruption in the growing black economy with people manufacturing and selling without paying tax. Unfortunately, Gun shops are so oppressively regulated imports are all up for GST at the Customs Barrier. Similarly, in the same way to Firearm Laws, GST makes criminals out of honest people who just want to get on with their lives without Government impositions.
Sorry, we are not into the Good News part yet.
The American Elections are in November this year, as that advances the thought of Hilary Clinton and the Democrats winning will reduce all international stock markets and they will not be in a hurry to buy US dollars. So it is unlikely that the USD will gain strength and reduce the spending power of our dollar. Well that might be a small point of good news it is inconsequential in the other ramifications of that election, which is the lack of firearm stock being exported to Australia. The Polls suggest that there are 270 million firearms in the hands of the American public, with a population just over 300 million. So when a 100 million firearm owners in the USA get worried about the Democrats, Hilary (Hitelry) Clinton or Bernie Sanders winning the White House, or the Senate on the basis that they will make legislation restricting what can be purchased, they immediately go out and buy up. We here in Australia are still suffering the shortages, due to the reaction of Obama’s idiotic attempts to legislate. Gun Shops have full pages of backorder’s with importers. When they ask for Expected Time of Arrival, (ETA) they regularly are told, “Not this year” maybe next. This is why we have not been able to get, Marlin Model 39 in .22 LR, or Marlin Model 94s in 357 magnum, or lines of 80 grain .243 ammo, or projectiles. Recently the Dealers have been told by Winchester that they are not expecting any shortages of .22 ammo this year and that they are trying to manufacture more locally at Geelong, but they also mentioned that Winchester USA have stopped supplying all brass cases and without them they cannot resurrect the Brass Mill so won’t be able to produce anything, leaving us entirely at the mercy of what Winchester USA decided to send to Australia. Instead of calling in assistance to help manufacture the Brass they seem to have decided to hunker down and do nothing.
More Bad News (but the last of it)
With further restrictions on imports from the largest firearm manufacturing country the USA, we naturally turn to the second Europe. So when we try to order from the producers or exporters in Europe they tell us that they have been flat out exporting to the USA, due to the increased demand, they say that the US dollars is worth much more than ours, so can ask bigger prices.
They also mention that they have had a million immigrants, bringing with them a huge increase in household burglaries, and that anyone with a firearm licence is buying everything that is not nailed down in their shops. The thought of another 25 million immigrants moving to Europe has fuelled the greatest gun sale ever. Austria leads the most by having the best gun laws. Followed by the French, but Germans are travelling to Rumania and the Baltic states to buy what they are un licenced for at home. Millions of worried customers are buying all available production and pushing up the prices. That makes it harder for us here in Australia where we have an extremely small and restricted market, for most of the worlds largest manufacturers we are hardly worth considering. Even if we had two million shooters licensed to buy guns and ammunition that would not equal the shooters in one of the USA or Europe cities.
Petition For Your Gun Rights.
Due to our Australian philosophy of ” She’ell be Right Mate”, our Law Abiding Firearm Owners will not raise up their heads and protest, this email goes out to over 9000 of them, yet only 2453 of them have bothered to sign a parliamentary petition, (which costs nothing, and does not subscribe them to thousands of unwanted emails) is it because they are scared and want to be anonymous? Is it because they don’t care if it happens? Is it because they don’t care if they have further restrictions on lever action rifles? Is it because they don’t care that their friends will lose their lever actions, rifles and shotguns?
No, its because they care more about the Lotto numbers, or if they are a Holden, or a Ford supporter. They look for logic in Gun legislation they find none, so either conform, or be an outlaw, never considering standing up for their human rights.
If you have a change of heart, or have not heard about the Petition before, please, before the 29th of February 2016, go to
and put in the simple details and sign to support.
“Licensed shooters request representatives vote against any further impositions, or adverse changes of categories in Weapons Act 1990.”
The next Police Minister COAG meeting is on in April and they will be asked to make a decision reclassifying Lever Action firearms from Category A to Cat B, Cat B to Cat C and Cat D. If your firearm is reclassified to either Cat C or Cat D you will be forced to surrender it. By the legal mechanism of changing Categories instead of “banning” they are effecting the same result without paying compensation.
The April 2016 date for the next meeting has been chosen to gain the maximum publicity from the anniversary of 20 years from the Port Arthur tragedy. The enemies of freedom will be working overtime to produce endless re-runs on the Gogglebox, to fire up as much public animosity and hatred against law abiding firearm owners. Of course our enemies will use every terrorist Act, anywhere in the world to force in more gun laws. They are even using the USA anti gun movement to increase the venom of their Anti Australian propaganda.
Okay, You Have Waited for It. Here is the Good News.
Above, we mentioned that there are 270 million firearms in the USA, well it came up in the Commonwealth Parliament the other day that in 2015 Australia had 2.7 million legally held firearms, with an increase in Licensed shooters reported being at 16% that doubles the numbers every five years. So by 2020 we will have getting on for 6 million. All we have to do is wait, when the numbers of firearm owners becomes a inescapable majority, we will have politicians swooning at our feet, wanting to bask in the sunlight of supporting shooters.
16% increase is well in front of our population increase at 1.45% and the annual increase of firearm owners could climb even higher as Australians finally wake up to the fact that we are living in a very dangerous and troubled world. The only reverse possible is if our treacherous politicians get away with importing thousands more un educated immigrants to take our jobs, send our currency back to the Middle East and vote Labour.

Chief Justice Tom Bathurst warns of threat to basic legal rights. Australia.

Chief Justice Tom Bathurst warns of threat to basic legal rights.


This is how it is with legal gun owners. Any suspicion on the part of the Police is automatically transferred to guilt on the part of the law abiding citizen, & it is the legal gun owner who has to prove his innocence.
