So again we have reports and evidence of Queensland Police scraping up some contrived rubbish to mirror laws in NSW and effectively move to NFA 2.0. Ministers brief and QPS writing laws In this case it is ammunition limits to match NSW. The process is well established, known, and documented. Now we come to the interesting part - the media is driving an agenda of expanded gun control through sensationalist claims and reports, the politicians are responding to the media as them having the pulse of the people (or polls), the bureaucrats seek to ingratiate themselves with their taskmasters, and a briefing note later, a signature applied and we have the further erosion of gun and shooters rights. Where is our ‘peak body’ SSAA? I said before these guys are not representing shooters, are not active, are not invested in the fight for gun rights, and continue to sleepwalk into the demise of shooting and gun rights in Australia. I have challenged SSAA to actively counter and respond to BS arguments, agenda, and untruths in the media but they do little. This piece above is solid proof of the influence of the media and the need to meet that threat to shooters rights head on. The SSAA needs to get active in THE media, not just their OWN media. If you are working behind the scenes, try something else because it is not effective. If the SSAA does not challenge each and every one of these articles actively and also directly with both the police and the minister then they need to step aside and allow others to take the fight forward as the peak shooters representatives. The government, bureaucrats, and police are being led around by the media and it suits their political and ideological agendas. Start at the visible source, and that is the media.
