SSAA National note: This interview is a prime example of the ways in which antigun spokespeople make outlandish calls for firearm ownership regulations without sound background information. This is something that SSAA National and the executive board members of the SSAA state and territory branches deal with on a regular basis. In this interview, these claims are countered by SSAA Queensland President Geoff Jones. Caller feedback is also included. Please note that at times, the compere confuses interviewee names.
