Risky... but I support this and will attend! Curious, what was WAFCA's take on this? I assume they're involved?

Why is attending a rally risky?

u/2j_tim 2d ago

Not for the attendees, but for how it could be portrayed (manipulated) by the media. The motive can easily be twisted. Throw in a wackjob (or plant) or two and it could get out of hand real quick.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, but it doesn't come without risks.

At best, the Western Australian government may dismiss the rally as they have in the past. At worst, they could use it to justify further restrictions on legal gun ownership.

I don’t want people knowing I’ve got guns so turning up to a rally is a frightening idea for me.

Don’t worry, you won’t have guns for long.

Ouch. But in all seriousness I’m never giving up my guns.

Don't show up to the rally and you won't have a choice.

Big words keyboard warrior..... you'll be crying like a baby when TRG comes knockin

I can see what I wrote could be easily misinterpreted.

I wasn’t suggesting that I’d go down fighting in a violent blaze of glory.

I’ll use whatever means I can to keep my guns within the parameters of the law and if that fails I will move the guns to another more sensible jurisdiction.

u/HowaEnthusiast Queensland 2h ago

yeah that makes more sense

Do your best to tell the world that shooting is normal, safe, social, gregarious, inclusive etc.

u/MikeAppleTree 5d ago

I 100% do that every chance I get already.

u/bertos883 4d ago

But then those people know you have guns...

u/2j_tim 4d ago

You don't have to be a gun owner to not support their agenda. I'll be there, along with my wife and daughter.

u/MikeAppleTree 4d ago

You’re the first word of encouragement I’ve had here.

Thanks
