THE 2024 NATIONAL GUN CONFERENCE proved how important and useful it can be to have key industry leaders work together and agree on a way forward to help the broader shooting community work to fix the stark political problems we face.
The outcome was so promising, that the result of the conference set up the agenda for the next conference. Then we had the additional lessons come out of WA.
Check out this excellent summary of what came out of the conference: https://youtu.be/ByiP_Kb4h7c
HOWEVER, a roadblock to doing this is the fact most organisations were simply never set up to take on political fights.
They mostly exist to run ranges and events, which is fine – but it makes it hard, if not impossible, for them to join the fight.
It means that the people we need to hear from, are often held back by others on their executives who are less comfortable going outside of what they do. That’s fine – but the political problems we face keep growing, which has to stop.
AT THE SAME TIME, there remains a lot of people in the shooting community who have the expertise we need without those encumbrances - who we need to hear from.
That’s why the planning committee has taken the decision to set up a panel of firearm policy experts to drive the next conference.
With their help, we aim to help the broader shooting community understand what our challenges look like, what can be done about it – and bring around the changes we need to see.
IN THIS SPECIAL EDITION OF GUN NEWS AUSTRALIA, we look at this in more depth – and put the call out to hear from those who can bring their critical knowledge and experiences to the table, as we plan for the next conference.
Whoever those people may be, they need to have strong backgrounds and experience in government policy and in the political processes that define the environment we’re in.
MAKE NO MISTAKE about it. The NGC is the only forum that exists that seeks to engage with the broader shooting sector to get key information on what we can do to address our problems, to every single shooter.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
