NO IDEA ABOUT GUNS: Labor’s dangerously uninformed approach

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

IN THIS EPISODE, we sit down with Danny Ryan, President of Sporting Clays Victoria, to discuss why politicians remain dangerously uninformed about firearms and the shooting community. This always leads to uninformed policy and bad laws – such as those that came out of the Bondi tragedy. We look at the appalling knowledge gap among politicians who make decisions affecting our sport. From professional politicians who never set foot on a range and have "overinflated views of their own knowledge" to bureaucrats, our current relationship with the government can only be described as hostile. Danny and Neil discuss the urgent need for shooting organisations to unite, the challenges of cutting through anti-gun misinformation from groups like Gun Safety Alliance, and why every shooter must personally contact their MP. THE RECENT STATE BUDGET also comes in for a serve, with the government failing to provide any support for shooters.  It stole millions from shooters over the 2026 Commonwealth Games shooting facilities fiasco, which is why we’re going to be providing a dedicated episode on that this coming week. That's because Victoria is now in the grip of a socialist left-wing Labor government that makes no apology for its outrageous raid on support for the shooting sports. PLUS, we’ve got an important update on our NCAT legal action coming up this week.  To donate, simply to go: GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ceaa3f898 PayPal:  https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=H8M2TBTFB7L62 -------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN US ON PATREON Join our Patreon channel and get our episodes before they are released more widely at:  https://www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsReloaded/membership -------------------------------------------------------------- DONATE NOW – and support our work You can back our work by donating at https://politicsreloaded.com/donate/ OR you can ‘buy me a coffee’ in support, at https://buymeacoffee.com/politicsreloaded  #GunNewsAustralia #VictorianBudget #ShootingSports #FirearmAdvocacy #Australia
