G'day everyone, both shooters, and non-shooters in support.

My name is James Buckle, and I am the president of the online, nationwide-based Australian firearms advocacy
group, Firearm Owners United. My team and I cover a huge range of australian firearm related news, anti-gun propaganda, new products and generally anything related to the sport and lifestyle of shooting in Australia, as well as external factors that can influence decisions made by our elected political representatives. You can check us out here

Let's cut to the crux:

We're sick of the lies and vilification perpetuated by the mainstream media, clueless politicians, and ill-informed hysterical loud-mouths.

We aim to create and advertise a series of pro-shooting sports billboards, and have them in NEARLY  every state and territories capital city in Australia .


We have some samples of the finished product below:






This could be YOU! We want YOU, our fans, to send in suitable pics that we can use on the billboards. Make your own mark. We've already received
several submissions.

Feel free to send us a photo, and a caption that you'd like to accompany it, and we'll do a mock up of the finished product.



Now, onto more gritty stuff:

The company we are utilising  is oOh Media:  http://www.oohmedia.com.au/. The billboard will be up for one month, in very high-traffic areas, with potential for them to be seen by millions of people.

The following is a list of the billboard sites we have chosen:

Unfortunately, we aren't funded at all. We're a group of eager guys and girls who either study, or work full-time. We don't have the resources to fund this ourselves - believe me, if we could, we wouldn't be doing this,

We are happy to facilitate these advertisements.
 We just need a little help getting the funding off the ground.

Here are the breakdowns of the costs involved:



As you can see, this project  is quite pricey. As mentioned before, we'd do it ourselves if we could. We've seen countless people all over facebook, at the range, at the gun-store saying "Why don't other groups advertise shooting in a positive light?" or "Why do we always preach to the converted?". 

It's in light of conversations like these that we started this venture. We aren't backed up by anyone but you, our fans, and fencesitters who support liberty and the end to cultural vilification.

By today's count, we have 15000 fans on facebook.

That's just $3.05 from each person. Literally the price of a cup of an average coffee.

Of course, we're acutely aware that not everyone will chip in. That's fine, you have your reasons. Let's break it down even further, based on that:

- If 7500 fans chipped in, it'd be $6.10

-If 2000 fans chipped in, it'd be $23

For the price of a box of ammo, help us educate the general public. Don't forget - it is tax-deductible!

Complete and total financial transparency
is guaranteed.  We've put up the official figures from oOh Media, and will happily forward the e-mail transcripts to anyone that requests one at our e-mail (firearmownersunited@gmail.com)
I've put my name to the cause. We aren't ripping you off. We would rather crush our guns than betray you, our fans, and other shooters of this nation.

With this is mind, lets get this ball rolling. We'd love to have these done ASAP, preferably in time for the NFA review. Help us help you, and give you a chance to speak out to some of the fencesitters, and remind the elected people's that we will not have another 1996.


Let us take a stand together as firearm owners, united!
