14 th August rally
There is a rally organised for August 14 at the steps of Parliment house to protest the new Firarms Act which has become an unworkable shambles, forced upon law abiding every day West Aussies who have complied in every way. They have been treated like criminals and had their property forcibly taken from them with no or little compensation and in some cases had their firearms seized for minor offences with spent convictions over 14 years ago with no right of appeal.
More than that though, it is an opportunity for all people who enjoy the outdoor life style in WA, to send a message that we have had enough of this governments over reach and over regulation. It is open to farmers/keep the sheep, 4wders, fishers, truckers, hikers, prospectors ect and all others as this arrogant governments over reach effects all of us.
If you value your oudoor way of life , even more now with another 30% of National Parks quietly being proposed to be locked out to the public, I would urge everyone to attend and spread the word.
They wont stop with just getting rid of evryones firearms. Lockouts and bans will only increase unless we stand up.

who is organising this rally
who is organising this rally Gav?
I bet not SSAA, and again they'll probably work to try and stop it.
The sad problem with this all, is that the most affected people don't live in the city, and hence the large majority are simply too far away to attend.
FUBAR unfortunately is the term for this situation as hunters, fishers and 4WDers
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Papalia needs to spend more
Papalia needs to spend more time on E bike laws as it seems they are worse than guns for killing people.....

Far bigger issue in the
Far bigger issue in the community. Scooters are bad but e-bikes are so much worse these days with the speeds they can do. Even worse in the hands of young people who don't have a clue what the road rules are.

14th August Rally
Gav475 it would help the cause if you were to provide more details, what time? I've googled the event and I haven't been able to find anything there.
The organizers' need to have an audience. Perhaps it's on FB, I don't do that.
Sadly, I don't see a good outcome. With the majority the LP has it can just do what it fkn likes.

Time
The rally is set for August 14, 11am to 1 pm at the steps of parliament house. It is the day the independent Mp is tabling a disallowance motion hence the timing. Ads are being placed in print media also. If you look at YouTube, mark and Sam after work he has alot more info. Its really about all the issues facing outdoor activities, not just firearms.
