Decorated firefighter of 35 years goes on strike "over government overreach on firearms"

from Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters · host Politics Reloaded - real news for Aussie shooters

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 criminals and agencies. Robert discusses the deeply personal impact of arbitrary firearm limits, including having to give up family heirlooms. He shares his message to fellow RFS volunteers who may be firearm owners: NOW is the time to act. He encourages shooters to contact their local MPs, sign petitions, and support legal challenges like the McDonald Law fundraiser. This isn't just about guns—it's about government overreach, broken promises, and the disrespect shown to rural Australians who've given everything to their communities. The March 2027 NSW state election is coming. Make your voice heard.
