GUN LICENCES EXPLODE: The recent attacks on shooters may have backfired – big time!

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

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 continue well into this year, in a move that we are sure will only toughen the resolve of shooters to stand up against bad policy, and bad government. As one NSW Upper House MP said, Minns’s plan has "completely backfired". Stay tuned for our upcoming episode with some major (and unwelcome) news on Victoria's Firearms Act review! Finally, can you please help us?  We need to be able to send this content to more and more shooters – so make sure you’re on our email list & get your mates to do the same as well!  It’s free, easy to opt out and would be a huge help if you can do that.  To sign up, just go to https://politicsreloaded.com/email-list/    -------------------------------------------------------------- GET EARLY RELEASE EPISODES!
