Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters

WE UPDATE YOU on our ongoing Freedom of Information request against New South Wales Police to lift the lid on discussions between the states on what other gun laws they are contemplating.

On February 27, 2025, I submitted a request under the New South Wales equivalent to Freedom of Information laws to obtain vital meeting minutes on meetings held with other registries, which they refused to release arguing doing so would compromise...

IN THIS EPISODE, we look at Kate’s escape to the United States nearly a year ago, without ever starting the legal battle on WA gun laws she promised or explaining where the money has gone. We also look at why Australian shooters desperately need effective political representation —and why so many past attempts have failed. I break down the three main reasons: inexperience, greed, and ego.

We've seen well-meaning people enter poli...

The discussion covers the significant concerns surrounding firearm legislation, particularly in light of recent changes to gun laws in Western Australia and New South Wales and federally – and even SA Labor’s decision to ban bow hunting and try to ban duck hunting by stealth b...

IN THIS EPISODE, we dive into the shocking thought-bubble emerging from Victoria's Firearms Legislation Review—a limit of just 10 rounds per shooter.

It was a simple query, but one which points to a much, much deeper problem affecting every licensed shooter.

Australian shooters are facing an unprecedented wave of new restrictions across multiple states, from gun limits in NSW to Western Australia's draconian safe storage requiremen...

IN THIS EPISODE, we examine the unintended consequences of knee-jerk politics by Premier Chris Minns and PM Anthony Albanese's after bringing in new gun firearm legislation.

Statistics are now showing firearm licence and permit applications have skyrocketed – in a move that we saw coming, as shooters make sure that family members get licenced to avoid having to surrender firearms.

The stats show a welcome trend that is likely to co...

WE SPEAK WITH Phil Donato MP, Independent Member for Orange, to run through NSW's rushed firearms legislation following the December 14 tragedy.

Phil reveals the shocking lack of consultation on the laws with MPs, being briefed just hours before Parliament was recalled before Christmas.

We discuss the devastating impacts on law-abiding firearms owners: arbitrary caps of 4 firearms for hunters, 10 for farmers and target shooters, re...

WE INTERVIEW Malcolm Drinkwater from the History Hill Museum about a DVD set he produced titled "The Long and the Short of Firearms".  This is a two part series covering nearly 3.5-hour series of our local firearms history from gunpowder basics through to modern developments.

 We’re covering it because it’s so good.  We’re doing this because we were so impressed with the quality and relevance to the use of firearms at home.  We are...

THE SHOCKING Bondi tragedy at a Jewish gathering has ignited fierce debate on Australia's draconian gun laws—but is self-defence a missing piece?

In this episode, we dive deep into the argument around self-defence and look at how things could have turned out quite differently if our politicians looked at this logically.

Should innocent people like you and me be able to protect ourselves? 

We draw on history where 71-year-old deputy...

NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE VOLUNTEER, Robert Warren, a decorated firefighter with 35 years of service, speaks out about NSW's rushed gun law changes and why he's taking a stand.

After receiving the Premier's Commendation and National Emergency Medal for the 2019-20 bushfires, Rob explains why he's now on a "quiet strike" from RFS duties—refusing to serve a government that's punishing law-abiding firearms owners for the failures of crim...

A LEGAL CHALLENGE against NSW's rushed gun laws could produce something that could benefit the shooting sports for the next twenty years.

NSW Premier, Chris Minns, and his government will fight hard to avoid losing this legal challenge, but the real question we see is what, if any, legal precedent could be set if these challenges go ahead.

A successful High Court or Supreme Court challenge could establish a legal precedent that cou...

WE TALK ABOUT how the new gun limits in New South Wales' recently passed firearms legislation will severely limit what hunters and target shooters can do.

The new laws will limit hunters to just 4 firearms and target shooters to 10.  We explain why these limits are inadequate for legitimate shooters.
