Aussie Gunsmith Issues Stark Warning to US Firearm Owners on Gun Control

In a stark warning to U.S. gun owners, Australian weapons manufacturer Lance French says firearm control lawsโ€”once introducedโ€”never stop expanding.

The owner of SGS Industries made the comments during the Western Australian Firearms Community Alliance meeting on April 1.

The meeting of gun owners and industry experts was held in reaction to impending state laws that will expand the gun control regime to ban high-powered firearms.

โ€œGun control doesnโ€™t stop at a particular gun. It just keeps going. Itโ€™s relentless. It doesnโ€™t stop,โ€ French told The Epoch Times. โ€œTheyโ€™re making these false claims that certain items are dangerous when whatโ€™s dangerous is a person, and itโ€™s a very low percentage of people.โ€

Following the 1996 Port Arthur massacreโ€”that claimed the lives of 35 individualsโ€”Australian governments began an ongoing program of gun control.

โ€œThey started the buyback, they got rid of semi-auto stuff, and they just kept going,โ€ French said.

โ€œWhat the U.S. can learn from us is that we are a living testament to the fact that it wonโ€™t stop. Weโ€™re down to bolt action rifles, and pump action riflesโ€”canโ€™t even have a pump action shotgun unless you fit certain criteriaโ€”itโ€™s really restrictive, and you canโ€™t even do it for self-defence.โ€

โ€œThe politicians keep cutting the corners and taking the edges off, and weโ€™ll be left with nothing in a few years.โ€

โ€œIt always starts with pronouncements and proclamations that itโ€™s going to do certain things for peopleโ€™s own good and their safetyโ€”itโ€™s always an overabundance of care. How does it end up? Totalitarian control.โ€

Meanwhile, gun owner Kate Fantinel said the WA government should turn its eye to cost-of-living pressures locallyโ€”notably rising inflation and interest rate rises.

โ€œI think they should be looking at ways to use their big mining budget to help the people who need it the most, not creating problems out of thin air,โ€ she said.

โ€œUnfortunately, in Australia, people tend to turn to the government to protect themselves. I completely think it should be the other way around, that the individual should be responsible for looking after themselves,โ€ she added.
