Farmers and sport shooters are urged to thank their MPs for stopping this unauthorised, attempted disarmament following the lead of Marxist Western Australia Labor 12 months ago. Next they will try taking your .308 standard military calibre and who know what else?

From Shooters Union and CN Townsville Bureau

Hunters, graziers, farmers and stockmen can breathe a sigh of relief about losing their large calibre, centrefire rifles after KAP Member for Hinchinbrook, Nick Dametto received a reply from the Queensland Police Minister Dan Purdie saying the LNP had no plans to take these firearms from shooters.

Shooters received letters from the Firearms Branch telling them they could not own a large calibre rifle unless they had a good reason when lodging a permit to acquire, sparking a flurry of complaints to parliamentary members. See letter below:

From Shooters Union

We have credible information that the Queensland Police Service Weapons Licensing Branch (WLB) is planning to enact a ban on “large calibre” rifles, despite not having any legislative basis for doing so.

Members have reported for some time receiving “Please explain” letters whenever they lodged a Permit To Acquire for rifles in the .338 Lapua Magnum calibre, with WLB citing concern the cartridge was “too large” for range use and excessive for hunting use on the sort of game encountered in QLD. 

Worse, this attitude has now spread to other previously acceptable calibres including .300 Winchester Magnum and the venerable (and incredibly versatile) .375 Holland & Holland Magnum cartridge.

Applicants for these calibres have been asked for proof of their long-range (1km+) shooting experience and abilities, despite the .375 H&H not having the range for that and not being used for those purposes anyway and .300 Winchester Magnum not being considered a “large calibre” by most shooting professionals.

There is absolutely nothing in the Weapons Act or Regulations restricting or banning any rifle calibre except .50BMG. 

As far as Shooters Union is concerned, all centrefire rifle calibres except .50BMG are acceptable for any recreational or occupational shooting use and it should not be up for debate or interpretation by civil servants with limited firearm knowledge. 

Also please remember: These “First and final notices” from WLB are not an official rejection – they are a request for more information. Members who have provided enough information have generally (but not always) had their PTAs processed – but we have heard through our trusted sources WLB are planning to put a stop to this.

We’ve been given unsatisfactory responses by WLB when we’ve raised this issue and are now taking it straight to the Police Minister – and we need your help.

We believe they are literally making up laws, and it needs to stop.

Even if you don’t own, or plan to get, a “large calibre” rifle – THIS AFFECTS YOU. Today it’s .338LM or .300WM, and eventually they’ll start asking if you really need a .308 for that hunting trip. 

Graziers, stockmen and hunters across the north use these larger calibres for humane and safe culling of feral bulls, wild camels and large boars to effectively dispatch with one shot, often at a distance taking the danger out of wild animal control.

  1. Could anyone explain how Jewish Israel were able to con Islamic Indonesia into taking people from GAZA who don’t speak the same language and quite possibly do not adhere to the same customs ?

  2. RE: “Haha…the “government” isn’t there to tell you what, or what not to do, the government is there to do as we tell it to do. And that is just to basically maintain the essential infrastructure.”

    Last I heard most all of the essential infrastructure has been PRIVATISED, converted from our public property into the hands of predominantly “institutional” investors. We’ve got a $TRILLION debt to prove it.

    Our Uniparty knows how to work it. One lot blows out our debt on mostly useless BS, the other lot pays it back by selling our essential infrastructure. Rinse and repeat again until we own nothing and are happy!

    Exactly what Onkel Klaus and his WEF Money Changer Cult cynically could not resist telling us to our faces. Not to mention the fact that they just as cynically and contemptuously told us that he installs their stooges into our Uniparty as his “Global Leaders”.

    On any sensible analysis, we must be happy with the arrangement because collectively we’re doing SFA about it! Hardly even a murmour of objection, xcept from a few us “conspiracy freaks” here and there.

    Note that the media is claiming a huge surge for the Greens side of the Uniparty. Obviously we must want more of the same. Nothing like a bit of Gaslighting to warm our cockles, eh? lol

  3. Large CALIBER. Caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet, not the energy that the cartridge produces. So their wording of this bit of tripe from the government could apply easily to something like an old 45-70, which has a .45 caliber.

    It wouldn’t matter that it is a short range round or that it is a very versatile round, loaded up or down. I had a mate that shot a 400 grain bullet cast from wheel weights that he loaded to subsonic speeds. It had a trajectory like a rainbow, but at regular hunting distances was more than effective – and saved money and ear protection.

  4. Well folks,

    Here’s a quote from a recent blog post by Martin Armstrong which has particular salience to the headline topic…

    “We are now embarking on the beginning of the third world war, thanks to the manipulation of the elites in power who have no regard for human life.”

    Lurch is coming, folks, have no doubt of that, and with Lurch will come the worst oppression and mass-murder of the Australian people in Australia’s history, all wrapped up in the biggest slaughter fest the world has ever seen.

    How many Australians are slated to die not just here in Australia at the hands of our Treasonous democidal foreign-owned hostile occupation, but also in foreign genocidal psychopaths’ wars this time around, folks? We already know they’re going overseas to die whether they like it or not, the only question is how many this time?

  5. Jesus Christ did not lie about them:

    “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.” Matthew 23:15

    This IS The Agenda.

    And I’m talking about the pre-religion Jesus Christ. The Spiritual Christ=The One(Truth) with THE ONE(TRUTH).

    The government(Rome) that was used(by the jews) to destroy his body took over and made a “religion” of him?
    WTF would think that was anything but a damage-control, controlled opposition operation? Half-truths make up a bigger lie that they do sell. False Christ=Anti-Christ.

    If you’ve been subjected to that satanic procedure(it’s not your fault), you can be “saved”, but only by this:
    “AMAZING GRACE”.

  6. Haha…the “government” isn’t there to tell you what, or what not to do, the government is there to do as we tell it to do. And that is just to basically maintain the essential infrastructure.
    And who in their right mind would tell the government it should become something more or beyond that? That it should become the opposite?

    JEW-FREEMASON MIND MANIPULATION(DECEIT=SORCERY) subverts right-mindedness and hijacks the people’s minds for diabolical ends.

    How many of the enforcers know they’ve been turned into slaves by the jews and attached to their counterfeit god, and are working to UNIVERSALIZE that state and condition worldwide?

    How many of the males in the population(80% in America!) know they’ve been subjected to a Jewish Satanic Ritual Abuse as an infant or young child, and that this abuse was deviously disguised as “health care”?

    How many of them know the diabolical intent behind this procedure?

    Most will probably scoff or laugh it off, and think it is nothing. (hahaha!)?

    That only proves the level of psychopathy and success of the procedure on them.

    They are attempting to detach the person from their inner awareness of real DIVINITY and attach it to their “god”, which is the devil. By stealth, but still in plain sight…

    Even those that claim not to be believers in God, and even make a conscious effort to reject that idea will still be under the influence of that false god of the jews. It’s about spiritually crippling an individual.

    Also there was a quickly shut down study that was being done on brain activity in a child while having that procedure done, what it showed was that a part of the brain shuts down when the procedure is initiated, and does not start back up after. The study in Britain was shut down when higher ups found out about it.

    So, a part of the brain function is stopped or greatly reduced possibly permanently…and then what?
    That would be called “brain damage”. No?

    Jesus Christ didn’t lie about them.

  7. They might not win the battle, but they might make the “winners” pay a heavy price FOR INITIATING IT, and awareness of that may cause the enforcers to not be so inclined to RISK their life for their masters and their (masters) oppressive, enslaving agenda.

    BTW:
    Will/would it be any different in Australia?https://www.bitchute.com/video/i9Z7PDMmcnsW

    With CERTAINTY I can say: NO.

    It might help too if the low-level enforcers(the grunts) actually knew who/what it is they are the minions of. The JWO.

  8. Yeah, those higher power rounds can penetrate body armor!

    Long range sniping too. Might take out robots better, or drones too.

    So the you-know-what/who; that very much wants to be able to act with total impunity, wouldn’t like the general population to possess such potential threats to their potential USSR-like(or organized crime–same difference) operations against deniers and rejectors of (the fraudulent)government “authority” or scofflaws.

    PS:
    HAMAS is a fraud, a controlled opposition entity controlled by MOSSAD.
    “Israel” is NOT IS-REAL.
    “Israel” is an inverted counterfeit.

  9. Wont stop WLB from asking for justification of any calibre you want to aquire

  10. elspeth berrysaid – “… Oh how very surprising that Pat from Vic would rather take a ludicrous theory on board…”

    Sorry Dude, but your cognitive dissonance at this stage of the game is just embarrassing. Really, seriously, cringe-worthingly embarrassing.

    Them thar Hamas warriors in sandals on forklifts and hang gliders done pulled off the greatest military surprise victory in history, folks! Armed with nothing more than a few rifles and a cranky cub scout, they overwhelmed the most technologically advanced and intimidating military this side of Mars by noisily trundling up to the most heavily surveilled border fence on Earth and cutting and chopping and smashing through it right there in broad daylight.

    And then went on a kidnapping spree uninterrupted for SEVEN HOURS, folks! Damn, that sure sounds like a scripted exercise, doesn’t it?

    Helped in no small part by the IDF themselves knowingly and deliberately slaughtering hundreds upon hundreds of poor clueless Israeli stooges, maybe even thousands judging by all those burnt-out Hellfire-fried and minigun massacred motor vehicles complete with carbonised skeletal remains of said poor clueless Israeli stooges. Lots of videos and photos of the IDF turkey-shoot of their own people still out there, folks, they still haven’t managed to scrub them all off the Internet yet.

    And never mind the IDF tank assaults on their own people in their own Kibbutz’es, folks, all part of the well-worn Israeli Hannibal Directive, which blended in swimmingly well with Polish Benny’s “Israeli 911”.

    Plus the 40 beheaded babies, folks, don’t forget THAT one, those Hamas devils even baked them in ovens just for good measure. Except that they didn’t really, that was just a lie, one MORE great big fib, part of the propaganda machinery to give Polish Benny the BEST damn “Israeli 911” possible to lay the context and justification for the greatest ongoing genocidal atrocity in modern history, Israel’s ethnic cleansing and extermination of the Palestinian people and annexation of a great chunk of the Middle East for their Satanic Greater Israel wet dream.

    Sorry, folks, I know most of you already know all this, and it’s barely even tangentially related to the headline topic, but when someone STILL keeps parroting and spreading Polish Benny’s diabolically evil genocidal BS propaganda and the 7 October Master Race Victim narrative, I figure it needs to be called out.

    Just saying.

  11. Mike Holt : “… take away all our rights in small increments, hoping we won’t notice”. You’re right, damn shame majority of the populace aren’t savvy enough to notice or give a rats, or a flying F#, doesn’t concern them until it comes for their doilies. Reminds me of the fun & games I’ve had with WLB, their breaucratic departments prior & their departmental ‘enforcers’ with their little neon gestapo tags, they must love me as the relationship on their ends been going on for near 40yrs (since they first started rattling my chain). First off they visit me on the other end of the state of where I used to have a pistol permit (moved from the outback), didn’t have a pistol when they came to visit but they wanted that little piece of paper to say I was “authorised” to shoot a pistol at a pistol club, must have been mid 80’s. Then on my cattle property they block me from having the right to have a pistol on my belt while I’m fencing about 15+km’s of fencing with the govt’s feral filled national parks a few meters from my back, they don’t control pests in their forests (wild dogs/pigs) they don’t even care about fire breaks. I know what it feels like to be surrounded by a pack of wild dogs, puts the wind up ya, but these governmental puppet dh’s expect one to strap a long rifle on your back while you’re alone doing that sh#it. No right! to don a Handgun! Anyone knows that you’re going to put your long rifle down & before you know it you’re 5 fence posts away from it (or you leave it on your 4Wheeler or vehicle with the rest of your spare fencing crap) too late to grab if you’ve got a cranky snorting sow you’ve spooked or mongrel dogs wanting to take you on. Then these power trippers take my CategoryC licence off me, not allowed to have that pumpie shoty, tell me ok to get a low ammo lever action, but they plan on banning them too (no matter the calibre) they skip over that little detail. So now they’re fantasising about my 300Winni… Good I had that mother when I had to drop a wild boar at 200mtrs destroying one of my pristine paddocks ducking in & out from their unkept forests, good I had the bitch the other day to put down a cow, somehow I don’t think my air rifle or lever 17/22 would have done the deed, so today they want my saving grace Winnie, then tomorrow they’ll want my wilddog culling17, then when I’m dead they’ll come for all the guns, like flies circling a dying beast, hanging on the blades of grass, little fck’n parasites. Who’s the biggest parasites? them or those that sit back & do nothing?
    Roland: “All part of disarming the people so they are unable to defend themselves if and when the time comes”. Damn straight mate! Doing their best to shaft & fck us all over, who would have thought hey

  12. Michael Kennedy: please substantiate

    Not that the claim strikes me as being exactly far fetched given the fact that the Lindt cafe siege was conducted courtesy of a weapon obtained via the quote, “grey” market – a story that was unquestioningly swallowed by the MSM

  13. Oh how very surprising that Pat from Vic would rather take a ludicrous theory on board than contemplate just how dire the consequences of civilian disarmament

    Perhaps she’d care to explain why said theory doesn’t exactly tee up with what Qatar-based Hamas member Khalil al-Hayya had to say 12 months down the track, quote:

    “The crossing of the glorious 7th of October shattered the illusions the enemy had created for itself, convincing the world and the region of its supposed superiority and capabilities”
    https://www.news18.com/world/hamas-celebrates-glorious-october-7-attack-in-video-message-says-it-exposed-israeli-weaknesses-9076059.html

  14. leave the legal guns alone in australia & concentrate on the illegal firearms being smuggled into australia in bulk by middle eastern crime gangs , brand new glocks & spare magazines coming through mail ,tobacco store in lakemba west sydney caught selling pistols only light sentences given .

  15. All part of disarming the people so they are unable to defend themselves if and when the time comes

  16. elspeth berry said – “… bar Israeli civilian disarmament, the 7th October attack on Kibbutz residents & music festival attendees could not have succeeded the way it did, ditto the kidnapping…”

    …except that the music festival massacre was carried out by the helicopter gunships and Hellfiremissiles ofthe IDF itself. Indisputably verified by shitloads of gun camera footage and Israeli eyewitness testimony, not to mention the scores of Hellfire-torched vehicles filled with carbonised Israelis.

    Awkward.

    And someone, anyone please correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t all those kidnappings and escape back across the border by Hamas made possible ONLY by virtue of the IDF’s deliberate STAND-DOWN for four or five or seven hours, ostensibly to make sure that Polish Benny’s declared “Israel’s 911” was a rip-roaring success?

    Awkward.

    Maybe all those poor Israeli Master Race stooges need their guns even more than they ever realised, seeing as how the enemy has always been INSIDE their walls.

    Just saying.

  17. Yet another example of bureaucratic overreach. They are trying to take all our rights in small increments, hoping we won’t notice. But covid was their big mistake. So many people are telling me they woke up to the corruption and lies because of it. Bureaucrats are not elected, and nor do they have the mental capacity to understand their rights and ours. They live in a bubble world of rules and regulations. They are to be pitied, but that doesn’t absolve theim of their crimes against We the People. They must and will be held accountable for assuming more power than they were ever authorised to do, causing the people so much misery and pain. History teaches us that it doesn’t end well for all tyrants. Pass the popcorn, please. The show has already started.

  18. Where does WLB get their authority from? Did that person have the authority to give them the authority? Etc, etc. If there is a break in the chain WLB is acting beyond the law.

  19. The situation mirrors the virtual absence of any acknowledgement that, bar Israeli civilian disarmament, the 7th October attack on Kibbutz residents & music festival attendees could not have succeeded the way it did, ditto the kidnapping.
    Which of course means that a full-scale war could have been averted

    In my view Israel’s greatest sin is it’s U.N. pleasing wokery
