The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party NSW (SFF NSW) has committed to a full repeal of the Minns Government’s deeply flawed gun laws.
The openly pro-gun political party released its updated firearms policy on Tuesday, committing to the removal of firearms ownership caps, restoring NCAT appeal rights, and an overhaul of the NSW Firearms Registry – including taking it away from NSW Police and placing it under an “independent, accountable firearms administration system focused on fairness, competence and proper service delivery”.
Party leader and Legislative Council MP Robert Borsak described the 2025 law changes, rammed through without stakeholder consultation in the middle of the night following a terrorist attack, as “the biggest attack on law-abiding firearms owners in a generation” and pledged to reverse it.
“For too long, law-abiding firearms owners have been treated as political scapegoats while governments ignore the real failures of intelligence, policing, border security, immigration and enforcement,” he said.
“The Bondi shooter didn’t fall through the cracks in the system. He walked through the front door and nobody stopped him.
“Yet instead of fixing those failures, governments chose to punish people who had done nothing wrong.
“Australia already has some of the toughest firearms laws in the world. More paperwork, more bureaucracy and more restrictions on licensed firearms owners will not stop terrorists and criminals.”
The SFF NSW firearms policy does not hold back in its unequivocal support for responsible firearms owners, explicitly stating the party believes firearm laws should be based on evidence, common sense and fairness, not fear campaigns and headline politics.
“Public safety is not improved by drowning compliant Australians in more paperwork, higher fees, endless bureaucracy and politically motivated firearm bans that do nothing to stop criminals,” the policy says.
“Australia already has some of the toughest firearms laws in the world. The problem is not a lack of laws. The problem is the incompetence of government agencies in enforcing the laws we already have.
“Every time a serious incident occurs, politicians reach for the same lazy response: punish licensed firearms owners, pile on more restrictions and pretend they’ve made the community safer.
“They haven’t.
“Instead, they ignore the real failures in intelligence, policing, border security, enforcement and coordination between agencies.
“We are not the problem.”
The NSW state election is set for 13 March 2027 and the firearms laws – including the arrogant way they were implemented by the Minns Government – will be a key voting issue for the state’s more than 260,000 licensed gun owners; not to mention their friends and family members as well.
