As you are no doubt aware, we are facing an unprecedented challenge in relation to fi****ms legislation in New South Wales, and potentially nationwide. This is a deeply concerning time for our industry.
I want to reassure you that industry bodies and peak industry representatives are working closely and continuously, in some cases multiple times each day, to ensure the strongest possible response is put forward on behalf of lawful firearm owners, dealers, and the broader community.
We have now reached a point where we are asking our dealer network to step in and assist. Your voice, and the voice of your customer base, matters. We need your support to help ensure that decision makers hear from those who understand this industry best.
We ask that you encourage your customers to take the following actions.
1. Write to their local Member of Parliament expressing concern regarding the rushed nature of the proposed legislation and the lack of meaningful industry consultation.
• Attached to this email you will find key points that may be used as guidance.
2. Correspondence should be addressed to local Members of Parliament, the Minister for Police, and the Premier. Contact details are included with this email.
3. Clearly express concern about the absence of consultation with industry experts and stakeholders who work within the existing regulatory framework every day.
4. Emphasise that rushed laws are often poorly considered laws, and that fi****ms legislation demands careful, informed, and balanced decision making.
Find your local representatives here:

Ensure all communication remains respectful, courteous, and professional at all times. Our industry is one of the most regulated, responsible, and trusted in the country, and it is important that this is reflected in our conduct.
We encourage you to act promptly and to support this effort immediately.
