Australian Gun Confiscation Cometh! But First a National Firearms Registry, By John Steele
Tyrannical socialist governments, especially those in modern times committed to world government objectives of the New World Order, love bureaucratic record keeping, and Australia is no different. Now on the face of it, the idea of a national firearms register seems a good idea, enabling police to know if someone has a registered gun. The federal government, will spend $ 160 million to set this up, and here is the first point of worry, "Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus will lead the initiative." The next point of concern, there will be a four year program for "Commonwealth and State and Territory firearms reforms." What reforms? What is going to take four years? There is more than setting up a data base here by their own admission.
Nationals Queensland Senator Matt Canavan has rightly questioned how it takes $ 160 million to set up a data base, making it a cost of $ 45 per gun. To think this through a bit, the individual states already have a data base of gun ownership. To link up the states can be done by a computer technician putting in a few days' work, for the grand cost of …no more than his pay! So clearly something more is happening.
One must operate on a methodological; principle of distrust of the government after the Covid plandemic, the mass immigration Great White Replacement leaving Aussies homeless, and the present round of internet censorship. At least since 1996, the Australian movement has been under total control of the globalists, who have been aggressively pushing their one world agenda. This has been covered at the blog on many issues, from free speech, to the mass immigration invasion, to internet censorship. Gun banning is always part of a move by societies, once with some degree of freedom to becoming socialist cesspools, which is where Australia is heading, and may already be.
Note well, that Western Australia has already begun its $ 64 million gun buyback. What we will see will be the same laws limiting the number of guns a person can own, right across the country, first to five, then to zero. "While Australia has some of the strongest firearms laws in the world, the Register will address significant gaps and inconsistencies with the way firearms are managed across all jurisdictions," Albo said last year, and now we know what he was alluding to. All states will be made consistent with Western Australia, the herald of gun banning.
This needs to be made a political issue NOW! Contact Senator Matt Canavan, by phone, for a start. Get Malcolm Roberts and One nation onto this. Street protests should include the gun issue.
In fact, for the protests on Sunday, concerned gun owners can get the ball rolling with some signs. To anyone objecting, say, well this is a freedom issue too!
"Nationals Queensland Senator Matt Canavan has raised alarm bells about the federal Labor government spending millions of dollars on a gun register.
This comes after Attorney General Mark Dreyfus confirmed that $161.3 million (US$105 million) over four years will be spent to establish the National Firearms Register.
The creation of the register, which will link information about firearm ownership from every state in the country to a central hub, was first announced in December.
However, the new funding came amid the anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre, where 35 people were killed in Australia's worst historical mass shooting on April 28, 1996.
In response to the news, Mr. Canavan questioned why the government needed to be spending this amount of money just to be "making a spreadsheet" of the guns in Australia.
"There are around 3.5 million guns in Australia. How can it cost $45 per gun to make a spreadsheet of them all?
How will the National Firearms Register Work?
The firearms register will provide police officers with close to real-time information on firearms, parts, and owners.
The national hub will link firearms information with other police and government information, including the National Criminal Intelligence System.
Under the May federal budget, millions in government funding will be allocated to help reform the federal, state, and territory firearms management systems.
Mr. Dreyfus said that once established, police will know where the firearms are, who owns them, and what other risks to the community and police could exist.
"The development of the Register is being informed by community and stakeholder consultation. The initiative is led by the Attorney-General's Department and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, working alongside state and territory governments," he said.
"The Australian government is committed to protecting the Australian community and ensuring Australia's firearms laws remain amongst the most effective in the world."
In a post to X, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese highlighted Australia brought in among the toughest gun laws in the world following the Port Arthur massacre.
"They remain a credit to John Howard, Tim Fischer, and Kim Beazley. They speak for the courage of people like Walter Mikac who showed extraordinary strength amidst unimaginable grief," he said.
The prime minister hailed the new National Firearms Register as a "missing piece" to those reforms.
"This national register will help police know where firearms are, and who owns them," Mr. Albanese said.
"It will honour the lives lost on this day in our history by saving lives in the future."
The national firearms register was originally earmarked on Dec. 6 following a meeting of state and territory leaders, at National Cabinet.
Mr. Albanese said at the time that the national cabinet had agreed to work together to ensure the register is "fully operational" within four years.
"While Australia has some of the strongest firearms laws in the world, the Register will address significant gaps and inconsistencies with the way firearms are managed across all jurisdictions," Mr. Albanese said at the time.
"The register will be a federated model—state data connects with a central hub data allowing near real-time information sharing across the country."
'We've Got Families Living in Tents': Shooters Union Concerned About Funding
Meanwhile, Shooters Union Australia has described funding for the national gun register as an "obscenity."
The group called for the funding to be redirected to healthcare and social services, noting Australia is facing medical, mental health, and homelessness problems.
"We've got families living in tents in major cities because they can't find anywhere affordable to live, we've got people going without medical treatment because they can't get a GP appointment, and we've got a mental health crisis, especially among our younger Australians, which is getting worse by the day," Shooters Union Australia President Graham Park said.
"Despite these very obvious and high-profile problems, the Commonwealth government thinks torching $160m for a duplicate and flawed database of legally owned firearms is the best use of that considerable sum."
Mr. Park said it is an "obscenity and a slap in the face to every Australian doing it tough at the moment—which is pretty much everyone."
"T he federal government has committed $160 million to establish a national firearms register, to track ownership and distribution in real-time.
The historic funding will be outlined in May's Budget and delivered over four years to create a register as well as support a range of Commonwealth and State and Territory firearms reforms.
The system will provide police with near real-time information on firearms, parts, and owners and link information with other relevant police and government databases.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said the tragic events at Wieambilla in 2022 were a catalyst for progressing the reform, sparked from the response to 1996 Port Arthur massacre.
"Once established, police will know where firearms are, who owns them, and what other risks to the community and police may exist," Dreyfus said in a statement.
"The Australian Government is committed to protecting the Australian community and ensuring Australia's firearms laws remain amongst the most effective in the world."
State and Territory leaders gave the go-ahead for a National Firearms Register last December, marking the most significant improvement in Australia's firearms management systems in almost 30 years.
The initiative is led by the Attorney-General's Department and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and will be developed with community and stakeholder consultation."
