Attention all WA members.Here we go with another petition team – albeit an extremely important one !![]()
We must get our numbers on as we push forward again and tell the government that we demand the proposed firearm![]()
bill be scrutinised by a bilateral Legislative Committee where the parliament can interrogate all aspects of the bill.![]()

By now you would have seen the intent of the bill is clearly NOT aimed at the criminal elements of our society but blatantly attacks law abiding firearm owners with unprecedented arbitrary firearms limits, and unworkable property approval restrictions in addition to the overreaching property use proposals and unnecessary minimum use requirements, all being piled on top of an unjustifiable scrutiny of West Australians personal beliefs and living circumstances.![]()

It's important we get all current and future firearms users to sign this petition ASAP.![]()

Many thanks to long standing advocate Rick Mazza for lodging the petition and the Hon Nick Goiran MLC who will read it in. ![]()
