The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) Victoria Chair Dr Anita Muñoz has (rightly, in our view) criticised calls for mental health assessments for gun licenceholders.

"I do not believe that asking GPs to provide assessments & guarantees about somebody’s mental health is going to be practicable, nor do I think that it’s actually going to solve the problem."
Dr Muñoz makes several other excellent points in this article:

Doing a little bit of research and found this little nugget: Every $1 in food manufacturing output increases SA's economic output by $1.36. For every two additional jobs in agribusiness, the economy benefits from three more.
That's pretty awesome.

The Federal Firearms "Buyback"* has stalled since most of the states realise it will cost insane amounts of money, will not improve public safety, and punishes innocent people who are just as horrified by terrorism as everyone else in Australia.

Is the message finally be getting through that responsible firearms owners are not potential criminals and are sick of being treated as though we are? We can only hope.

If we were NSW Labor, we'd be highly embarrassed our "petition" calling on the Liberals to back stronger (read: more restrictive) gun reform (read: punishing licensed shooters for crimes committed by terrorists) had only received a staggering 8 signatures in nearly two days...

The question by @carlodifalco_mp about the training of officers with firearms legislation is extremely important, I can verify officers have not been adequately trained or even read the firearms act. Ask any rookie if they have read the act #politas @felix_ellis

Japan, where firearms are essentially banned for 99% of people:
"Can we have a 3D-printed, spring-powered 40mm rubber bullet launcher?"
"Sure, have fun!"
Australia, where you can get a gun licence for hunting and target shooting and collecting, but what are essentially toy guns are heavily restricted if not outright banned in most stages:
"We're going to treat this as if it's an actual grenade launcher and no, you can't own it."

Shooters Union Tasmania president @PhillipBiggInd has welcomed wild deer management changes announced by the TAS Govt, but remains very disappointed the proposed Game Meat Donation Bill, which has been provided to every MP in TAS Parliament, continues to be ignored. #politas

Shooters Union and the Victorian Economic Impact Report we recently commissioned are referenced extensively in this excellent article from The Australian, which says the Victorian Government will reject caps on how many firearms licensed shooters can own!

IMPORTANT INFO FOR VICTORIAN SHOOTERS
Victoria Police have said they are, in some areas, specifically undertaking firearms licenceholder compliance checks on shooters aged 75 years and over, for “ensuring storage compliance and support[ing] planned disposal of firearms”.

While the assumption older shooters are more likely to be noncompliant is problematic (to say the least), this is a good opportunity for licensed shooters – regardless of age – to ensure they are storing their firearms securely.

Do please tell me how a suppressor is a silencer…… 🧏 oh wait there’s an echo!
Suppressors should be easily acquired by any licenced firearms owner as a part of PPE.
If I’m using power tools there is an obligation to protect hearing, why is hunting any different? #auspol

Great work from the team at the North Queensland Register covering (paywalled story) a highly successful pig hunt near Euramo!
There's some excellent points in the story from our friends at Australian Pig Doggers and Hunters Association, too!
