NSW’s new gun laws won’t make the community safer, but they will punish responsible, law‑abiding firearm owners.
Capping ownership, banning common sporting rifles, forcing mandatory club membership, and removing the right to appeal licensing decisions at NCAT are political theatre, not evidence‑based policy.
NSW MLC John Ruddick spoke against these laws in parliament, warning they target the people who follow the rules, not criminals.
The NSW Libertarian Party is now actively campaigning to repeal these laws. We believe in smarter, freedom‑respecting legislation that focuses on actual offenders rather than burdening responsible citizens.
NSW deserves better than knee‑jerk restrictions that erode civil liberties.
