Remember to Sign the Petitions
Licensed and law-abiding firearms owners across Australia are facing a critical moment. Changes to firearms legislation in New South Wales have implications that extend well beyond one state, and right now, public participation matters.
New South Wales remains the country’s second-largest firearms market, and the laws that have now been passed will have lasting consequences if left unchallenged. Repealing or amending legislation once enacted requires sustained public pressure and clear evidence of community opposition. Without that pressure, restrictive laws risk becoming permanent.
Taking action does not require special expertise or resources. Signing a petition is a simple step, but when thousands of people act together, it sends a powerful message. Choosing not to act risks allowing decisions to be made without adequate input from those directly affected.
What You Can Do Now
If you live in New South Wales, make sure you have signed the official NSW Parliament petition. It has already passed 90,000+ signatures, but with more than 250,000 licensed shooters in the state, every additional signature strengthens the message.
If you have already signed, please consider sharing the petition with family members, friends, and fellow club members.
If you are outside NSW, you can still support the cause by signing the national petition and encouraging any NSW shooters you know to sign the state petition as well.
