Perth western australia.. crossbows are now (BANNED)

[secret]

Wow!!!! Thats a bummer...Dont you think its time to move? With guns and crossbows we are citizens....Without we are subjucts Someone in England told me that once.....as they took his guns from him....now he has to protect his house with a pitchfork!

[bcmuledeer]

just noticed this! Is this a thing to come all over? There reasoning isn't very reasonable but what do we expect. Like you said, it's all about money and power! Feel for you guys down there, keep up the good fight! P. S. When's the next election!

I haven't been this pissed off with someone in a long time. These government assholes have wound me up.
We have no support from Archery australia at all. "This goverment move will only boost their club membership so why would they". I know now they have no interest in supporting Bowhunting nor crossbow hunting either.
But the Bowhunters group are supporting us. They know hunting in general is under attack and they're next. The letter writing has begun. If you you don't hear back from me in a few days, its because I have RSI of the typing fingers.

Sorry about your crap bullcrap Gov't. Personally, if it happens here in B.C, Im outa here. Govts do this so that
they cant be removed by force. Thats how a repressive & corrupt Govt starts. First firearms, then crossbows,
and on and on till everybody is as helpless as a baby. On the good side I see some big changes coming to the
world in the next 10 years. Maybe move to Canada for a while. I have a huge house with lots of room if you
need a place to start over from. Thats if you dont mind living in B.C's interior paradise. If you pass on my
offer, no worries but the offer will always stand. Only downside is this mysterious white stuff we get every
winter.

Don`t get me wrong it is a horrible thing when someone gets killed . But to condemn the weapon is wrong . It was the person whom did the deed not the weapon .
One person in 2 years is not bad . Compared to how many die from those legless creatures . What is it 5 or 6 of the top 10 deadliest snakes live in Australia .
What would work for me is to ban all poisonous snakes in Australia . I would be all over that ,like a fat kid on a smartie . ( a smartie is a chocolate candy )

funny enough, there has only been one person killed in western australia with a crossbow.

Hey Dash and Blackjack, I posted your dilemma on C.B.C. could you guys go through the history on your computers and
dig up the best links you can to explain whats going on? I'm sure we can all pass on links to create media awareness
and to do a little old fashioned sh*t disturbing. Like the father, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I truly
feel for the man , but c,mon, whats next, spears, sharp sticks, and rocks? Just trying to help.
Hank

the bowhunters group of australia. hope that helps out hank

Sooner or later someone will arrow someone else witha compound and the vertical boys will be turning their's in too, Then they will have wished that they stood up for ther fellow archers.

Sad.......blame the object and not the person..

Hi Blackjack.

What can you tell me about a Chriss Gunn from Gunn Engineering (target and medieval crossbows) reputation wise? From their website they seem firmly established. It doesnt sound like they plan on slowing down anytime soon despite the new laws?
