Help us protect
hunting
The Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party on on the attack after new
regulations have been delivered. Here is how it will affect you and what you
can do to help.
The Liberal - National New South Wales Government has released a
consultation draft of the proposed Firearms Regulation 2017 and Weapons
Prohibition Regulation 2017.
In a move reminiscent of John Howard’s 1996 gun reforms, these are
some of the most draconian regulations ever.
These regulations, if passed in their current form, will
affect every licensed firearm owner, hunting club and firearms dealer
in New South Wales.
Here are just a few ways these new regulations will hurt law-abiding
firearms owners:
Forcing all hunters and private landowners to supply private personal
details to New South Wales Police before being allowed to hunt on private land
(clause 32, 34 Draft Firearms
Regulations 2017).
Refusing a firearms license or permit even if someone is innocent of
an offence under the Firearms Act (clause 11, 23 Draft Firearms
Regulations 2017).
Squeezing law-abiding firearms dealers out of business through
further regulation and restriction (clause 41 Draft Firearms
Regulations 2017).
As they’ve always done, the Government are punishing law-abiding
firearms owners for the actions of criminals.
They know full well that the increase in law-abiding firearms owners
is largely due to the increase in recreational hunting. They’re attacking
legitimate hunters from safely going about their business and slowly trying to
kill off all licensed firearms ownership.
Regulations, unlike Bills and Acts, do not have to come before the
Parliament to be voted on. They are put in place by the the Minister for
Police, National Party MP Troy Grant.
You can help RIGHT NOW.

Regulation 2017 and draft Weapons Prohibition
