Help Us Protect Hunting & Gun Ownership In Australia.

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.
The draft Firearms
Regulation 2017 and draft Weapons Prohibition
Regulation 2017 have been released for public consultation.
The closing date for submissions is 5pm on Monday 31 July 2017.
Please click on the following links for the:
Let the Government know that you don’t appreciate being treated like
a criminal in waiting.
There is no set format for submissions if you wish to make comments
and you can keep your comments private if you choose so.
Email submission to (preferred option): firearms@mpes.nsw.gov.au
Our Loose Cannon writer, Firearms Lawyer Simon Munslow, has written a
document which will assist you in writing to your local politicians and the NSW
Police Minister to put the heat on the government over this issue. You

Update On Our Group's New Forum.
Well the help people still haven't replied, either there are a lot of complaints, or they are just bloody useless. I gave up trying to change the forum via their board, & found another way. I have not done too badly considering, & it looks as though the forum is usable. More problems may arise, but if they do I will work on it. Better than having to start a new forum elsewhere & lose all those years of posts & information. The new forum looks different to the old one, I have installed new & different images in some of the sections. Check it out for yourselves at: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/eighteenthcenturylivinghistory/index.php?sid=75d999d1f3064aa04a403a813cc2cb2a

NOTICE TO ALL NECLHG MEMBERS. TAPATALK HAVE TAKEN OVER & STUFFED UP!!!
Our official forum has been taken over by some mongrel service called TAPATALK. I have been unable to change anything on the new forum & I am unable to log in to their complaints department & feed-back forum. So it looks as though we are dead in the water!!! I will see if there is another service we can move to, but all those years of work & information that has gone into our old forum will be lost. I honestly don't know if I have the energy or the enthusiasm to start all over again.
IF this new service should come good, if this is just a glitch, then I will go to work & try & change things back as close as I can to what we had before. WATCH THIS SPACE as they say!
Regards, Keith.
