TASMANIA VOTES: Are the major parties trying to con shooters?

Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters

TASMANIANS GO TO THE POLLS on March 23. If that's you, do you know which way you're going to vote?

Both Labor and the Liberals have promised to give antique collectors a break. It's the first time both sides of politics have come up with pro-gun positions for quite a longtime - but can they be trusted?

WE INTERVIEW local shotgun legend, Cheryl Arnol, about the promises and the caveats that come with them. We look at previous broken promises and the fundamental problem with the way firearm laws in Tasmania are structured.

WE ALSO start to dig a bit deeper on an issue that we're going to push hard this year, which is the difference between the "Guns and Crime" narrative used by politicians and the "Guns and Sport" narrative that they should be using - and why it's so important to the future of the shooting sports.

BAD BUSINESS: Dealer's woes lead to an important win

BANKS, PAYMENT PROVIDERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS continue to cause havoc for dealers by denying services, despite previous efforts to fix those problems.

WE INTERVIEWED Adelaide Hills based dealer, Range and Field, about the problems they've been facing - to the point where they are about to get political.

SINCE RECORDING this episode, we asked the ANZ bank to provide a copy of the policy it was relying on. They have not only come back to deny the policy, but will provide Range and Field with banking services. They say they will also 'educate' the local branch - and provide Range and Field with EFTPOS facilities.

It's only one battle facing dealers - but it's good to have won at least this fight.

THE GUN BAN LOBBY: Uninformed, opinionated – and just plain wrong

AUSTRALIA'S GUN BAN LOBBY has struck again, this time claiming that Glocks are military-style handguns.

We have a look at what the main (recycled) players in gun control groups are up to, and why politicians need to ignore them.

We also look at some of the practical issues around the WA buyback, and why shooters who might get caught up in it might want to hold off handing their guns in for now.
