What is CLASS?
The Coalition of Law Abiding Sporting Shooters (C.L.A.S.S.) is a group of Australians fed up with the abuse of power by the ruling class of Australia: our politicians, public servants and media. We are not a shooting club. We are not a political party. We are a group of concerned Australians contributing to the public discourse on guns and power in our country. We are volunteers serving our community. Most of all, we are sick and tired of the blame game practiced by state and federal politicians.
We look for ways to move the debate on guns toward evidence-based, fair measures which limit violence, while returning to decent Australians the right to go freely about their business. We publicise unbiased research and statistics that add to the debate. We publicise the inherent bias of many in the media.

John Howard loses another federal election! It is my firm belief that the Liberal Party would have emerged from this election a clear winner with a workable majority had it not been for the legacy of John Howard.
When John Howard engineered the “Gun Grabs” he alienated hundreds of thousands of former Liberal voters. Read More...
Gun Control Obsession. "Mr. Crook has not recently fallen into mental illness; his ideas were always fantastical. In libraries across the country, a snowstorm of badly-photocopied booklets show his weird obsession that ordinary sportspeople are really killers proven and convicted." Read More...

CLASS supports the NSW Game Bill Amendment 2009: The Coalition of Law Abiding Sporting Shooters Inc (CLASS) fully endorses the Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill 2009, which has been tabled in NSW Parliament. In supporting the bill, presented by The Shooters Party, CLASS acknowledges the importance of allowing access to National Parks by licensed and qualified sporting shooters.

In 1972 the Irish Republic instigated an order, since deemed illegal, to arbitrarily confiscate all privately owned centre-fire rifles and handguns other than .22/250 rifles. This paper illustrates the unintended, tragic consequences of this action.

Many decisions, taken without due consideration, give rise to 'unintended consequences', one of which is the total loss of experience with firearms that may have led to the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of a police officer during firearms training in Britain. Read More

It is time to call vicious, undeserved prejudice for what it is. In his opinion piece of 20 October 2007, the SA Director of Public Prosecutions tried to whip up this nasty emotionalism against his neighbours. He heaps a storm of abusive language on his targets, he contrasts them with saintly police, doctors, mothers and children; he rhetorically joins his targets to ‘men of violence’.
Stephen Pallaras: Quick on the draw
Stephen Pallaras has made it his mission of the week to get rid of guns in South Australia. He has been criticized by many in the state for the lack of evidence that his proposal will have any practical effect on the criminal misuse of guns. Mr Palllaras says that if there were no guns, there would be no criminal misuse of them. And if there were no cars there would be no criminal misuse of them.
What he really means is that licenced gun owners must continue to be blamed for the misdeeds of criminals. Read gun owners are not the enemy
Recently the Media carried variations of the headline, “Tighten firearms licences: NSW coroner”. The story related to the tragic murder of his family by a father and his subsequent suicide by shooting. He stabbed and suffocated his wife and suffocated his two small children. A deputy NSW coroner included a recommendation that the procedure for issuing firearm licences be tightened. Read an article in a Canadian newspaper: Gun owners are not the enemy.

-Evaluating AIC ResearchThe National Coalition for Gun Control: Who are they? Are they a committee of one and a fax machine?
A new study published in the prestigious British Journal of Criminology finds that the Buyback had no benefit in reducing Australia's murder rate. Sadly, the AAP article on this appears to be recycled NCGC misdirection. The flaws in the article are:
(1) The article labels the researchers 'pro-gun lobbyists', and fails to consistently use Dr Baker's correct title.
(2) The article claims that other research shows differently, but no reference is provided to this 'research'.
(3) The article gives the last word to 'Sydney university professor Simon Chapman', but does not say that Chapman is a gun control activist who helped lead the campaign to ban recreational guns.
Buyback Had No Effect on Murder Rate The Buyback did not produce benefits clear enough to measure.

"Drugs, cash and firearms - including a crossbow - have been seized after a major police drug bust on the Limestone Coast in the past week. Operation Mantle and Limestone Coast police targeted illicit drug dealing from premises in the region and four people were arrested. . ." A Crossbow is a firearm? Who knew?
QLD: Brisbane Times, Letters --'tightening gun laws won't stop the drive-bys'
"Ian Carragher (Letters, January 19) agrees that politicking won't stop the bullets, but neither will ''tightening'' gun laws. The people involved with drive-by shootings are already showing a complete disregard for the laws of the land, and our police are clearly unable to enforce our existing laws ..." But that doesn't stop them (the police) demanding new, draconian powers. There are four other letters following much the same theme as this one. Thanks to WM for this story.
NSW: Police minister back from holidays to address drive-bys

Police allege the man walked up to the front door of a Bellis Place property about 2.30am yesterday and fired several shots. The man was arrested and charged with aggravated possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of unlicensed ammunition. . ." Unlicensed ammunition? Reminds us of the hold-up merchant who tried to rob a premises "armed" with .22 ammunition. "...and there's plenty more where that came from," he is said to have claimed. Thanks to WM for this item.

Holier than thou, Gun Control Australia (GCA) has embarked on a monumental dummy spit. Not content with filling their website with BS, they are now on a mission to educate people on the dangers posed by shooters. Dated December 7 (Not what one would call up-to-date) in "News" and headlined "Guns are for killing. And we don't teach killing at this school", an article on their website contains only two passing references to "school children" and one to "teaching professionals." And it repeats the (so-called) 'headline' at the end. Instead of going to their webpage and boosting the page view stats, just take our word for it. Of course if you really want to read the page....go for it! But not if you are easily offended.

US: Gun grabbers beavering away at new restrictions in Illinois
"Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 2nd Amendment guarantees your right to keep and bear arms, anti-gun politicians have been working hard to come up with a way to take your guns away without running afoul of the Heller and McDonald decisions. [...] The objective of this new attack is to make firearm ownership too expensive and too impractical for most people through the use of taxes, registration schemes, and storage requirements. . ." Why not? It's worked in Australia. In 1996 there were 130,000 gun owners in SA according to SAPOL, now there are around half that number.

There are now 763,359 registered firearms across the state, including 27,956 handguns, compared with 190,844 licences.

NSW: Cops say shots were crime gang intimidation
Six spent cartridges were found on Pelman Avenue at Greenacre about 4.20am AEDT on Sunday, but acting deputy commissioner Alan Clarke said no particular home appeared to have been targeted and there had been no injuries.

AUS: Politicians, "guns and money"
"Naturally politicians are happy to proclaim the Howard Government’s gun buy-back scheme a stunning successOPW and boast
that Australia’s streets and homes are safer for it. The murder rate in NSW is the lowest in living memory. Suicide deaths by firearm have declined by more than half since 1996. Yet our homicide and suicide rates had been in decline well before the gun buy-back scheme was introduced. Meanwhile, the rates of assault remain sky high. What we can deduce is that
advances in emergency medical treatment have transformed potential acts of murder into [mere] violent assaults. . ."
We've been telling them for years, but they won't listen! Now more evidence is emerging that newspapers in this country are waking up to the fact that the buyback targeted only legal gun owners - criminals ignored it. It can be safely said that not one criminal handed in their gun. Why should they? Their guns are unregistered and unlicensed! The police don't know about them, and run around harassing law-abiding owners to stop "gun crime". HA! The rise in armed crime can be laid squarely on ex-PM John Howard and his ill-considered anti-gun policies which only affect the law-abiding and do nothing to control illegal use.
