Gun Control is a myth.
It is law-abiding-citizen control, nothing more.
Australia is not proof that 'gun control works', it's proof that it is a fantasy.
That was ALREADY true, but in an age of relatively easy and cheap 3D printing, it is now ABSOLUTELY true.

Tasmania cannot afford another blank cheque.
Tasmania is facing a $596.7 million operating deficit, with net debt forecast to reach almost $10 billion.
Despite this, politicians are preparing to spend millions buying back legally owned fi****ms from licensed Tasmanians.
Queensland said no. Victoria said no. South Australia said no. The Northern Territory said no. Why is Tasmania volunteering to become Canberra’s testing ground?
This money comes from every Tasmanian taxpayer.
Before spending millions taking property from compliant owners, politicians must explain:
❓What will the final buyback cost?
❓Where will the money come from?
❓What services will miss out?
❓What measurable improvement in public safety will it deliver?
Tell your representatives not to waste public money on a buyback that targets law-abiding Tasmanians.

The Liberal candidate lives in the area, unlike some people.......
Put Labor Last
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: SITTING COUNCILLOR RUMOURED FOR SECRET HARBOUR BY-ELECTION
The local political landscape is about to get a major shakeup. With the upcoming Secret Harbour by-election looming, the WA Liberals will soon vote on a contender to contest the seat.
The Baldivis Times has been given rumoured information which indicates that sitting City of Rockingham Councillor Ryan Robertson was the sole candidate to lodge a nomination with the Liberal Party for the Secret Harbour electorate.
What's Ryan's background? 🌊
For residents across the district, Cr Robertson is a highly familiar face. At 35 years old, he is a local family man married with three young children. He currently represents the Rockingham-Safety Bay Ward on council, which covers key suburbs tied directly into the Secret Harbour region.
His background brings a unique mix of service and business to the table. He is a 12-year Royal Australian Navy veteran who served across the surface fleet and submarine force, even earning the title of Submariner of the Year in 2020. Locally, he operates as a small business owner running Apache Media Group, works as a property consultant with Multiply Property Group, and hosts a popular local media initiative, The Ryan Robertson Show podcast.
Local Sponsor ❤️
On the ground, he is deeply embedded in the local sports community. He serves as a financial sponsor and supporter of the Secret Harbour Dockers Football Club, Port Kennedy Soccer Club, the Warnbro Swans Football Club, and the Rockingham Rams (even though the Rams are based just outside the Secret Harbour electorate).
💥 If these nominations clear as expected, it sets the stage for an incredibly competitive by-election battle for our region.
