Have your say: Member Survey, Petition and Media Campaign

Dear Members,

SSAA ACT Inc. is currently undertaking a coordinated approach to ensure the voices of responsible firearms owners are heard clearly in current and future policy discussions.

As part of this effort, we are asking all members to participate in three important initiatives:

Member Survey
We have launched a long-ish survey to better understand your experiences, concerns and priorities. It also asks some quantitative questions so we can understand the impacts of current proposals to our members. Your feedback will help guide our advocacy and strengthen our submissions to government.

Responses must be provided by 28 February 2026 to be included in the SSAA ACT Inc. submission to the Inquiry into the Bill. Responses will still be accepted after this date though.

Community Petition
We are supporting a petition in the Legislative Assembly calling on the Government to ensure reform is based on evidence, is proportionate to risk, is fair to law abiding licensed firearms owners, and targeted against criminal misuse.

Media Campaign – Putting a Human Face to Firearms Ownership
We are developing a media campaign that highlights the real people behind lawful firearms ownership – everyday Canberrans who value safety, responsibility, sport and community.

This initiative aims to challenge stereotypes and help ensure the public conversation is balanced and informed.

Your participation in these activities is vital. Together, they help us present strong, credible and representative advocacy on behalf of our membership.

We encourage you to:
1. Complete the member survey
2. Sign and share the petition
3. Consider supporting the media campaign by sharing your story.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to responsible firearms ownership in the ACT. With your involvement, we can help ensure our collective voice remains strong, informed and respected.
