‘A CRACKER OF AN EVENT’: We look at gun shows – including the huge one coming to Brisbane
01/03/25 • 63 min
WE LOOK at the world of selling and buying firearms online – and even how non-tech savvy dealers can now set up their own online storefront.
We talk about social media bans on dealers – and how one creative dealer is reaching shooters in their own way.
We also look at gun shows – and the amazing Owen Gun Museum in Gympie.
AMONG THE KEY EVENTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS YEAR is the Brisbane Firearms Expo in May.
The prospectus is available, so if you’re an exhibitor from anywhere in Australia, check it out today.See the links below.
We look at the enduring problem with WA – and why shooters everywhere need to be reminded of the need to get political if they want to be able to keep shooting. That’s something we’ll help you do – just make sure you subscribe to our content – find out how below.
PLUS WE FIND a good use for Teslas, which no self-respecting shooter should be caught dead in. Here’s a hint: bonfire.

“COOL OFFICE AND A PARKING SPACE”: Meet the Oregon pro-gun group going after weak & lazy politicians
KEVIN STARRETT from the Oregon Firearms Federation takes us through the history of how the Gun Owners of America formed his group to put an end to shooters being sold out by their own.
He explains how local shooters had been cutting deals with politicians too afraid to do anything useful for fear of losing their “cool office and a parking space”.
This has caused the western state to go from gun-friendly, to dangerously left.
THIRTY YEARS AGO Kevin went to work addressing this and is now the ‘no compromise’ advocate for change ... and he’s got the wins to show it.
It’s a template for what needs to be done here.
EVEN the local Republicans, who should be on shooters’ side, come in for a serve for failing to stand up to the left-wing Democrats and standing up for shooters.
Too many Republicans have allowed themselves to become weak and ineffective ... which describes our own Liberal Party to a tee.

WA’S NEW SAFE REQUIREMENTS: Plus the huge gun rally coming to Perth
WA SHOOTERS are in for expensive new safe requirements. The new laws will require safes that will cost a minimum of $3k and be so heavy – well over 300kg at a minimum – they’ll need a few mates or cranes to move them.
Forget to change the safe, and WA shooters will be up for a $5k fine for the first offence, and jail for a second offence.
WE LOOK at the new requirements which are completely impractical – and what shooters can do about this, with a state election coming up in March. There’s no doubt about it: the WA Labor government NEEDS TO GO.
PLUS we chat about the huge gun rally being organised for Perth on Saturday 8 February. If you are against what the government has done, then this is how you can fix the problem.
JOIN the rally at tinyurl.com/WAGunRally. Sign up to find out where and when the rally will start, who the speakers are, and everything else you need to know.
This is why you need to join Politics Reloaded – see below to find out how.
