We had a total of ten matches contested yesterday including a supervised match by new member, Andy, who impressed considering it was only the second time he had used a pistol.
As licenced NSW Firearms owners, we all face an uncertain future with the Minns Labor Government intent on forcing through more heavily restricting Firearms laws as a result of A "KNEE JERK REACTION" to the Terror Attack in Bondi last weekend.
The architect of the present "Uniform" Legislation (John Howard) has stated several times in the last week that the existing laws do not need to be changed, they simply need to be enforced and the hysteria surrounding the terror attack and the failings of various agencies in recognising the Terror Threat should not be used as a catalyst for stripping responsible gun owners of their equipment or genuine reasons to own rifles for Recreational Hunting and Vermon Control.
Lets hope sanity prevails.
One thought that I have had over the last 24 hours is that we have seen how the numbers of Feral Animals exploded after the 1997 Firearms restrictions were introduced and continue to do so.
God help us if Recreational Hunting (as a genuine reason) is taken away from all responsible Recreational Hunters of this state.
Apart from the total destruction of crops, there will be a significant increase again in crashes involving animal strikes on our roads and it will only be a matter of time before there will be a loss of a human life through these accidents.
THE COMMENTS EXPRESSED REGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF GUN LAWS ARE THE THOUGHTS OF THE AUTHOR - NOT OF THE EXECUTIVE OF THE PISTOL CLUB
