Australia Minister of Police Releases Maps of Licensed Gun Owner Addresses
Paul Papalia, Minister of Police for Western Australia, is under intense fire for releasing maps which identify the addresses of licensed gun owners.[i]
The maps, generated by Papalia’s office as part of a gun law reform marketing campaign, were dutifully published by press outlets across Australia, immediately putting the safety and security of 89,000 families at risk.
If the point was to keep criminals from stealing legally-owned guns, Minister of Police Paul Papalia completely missed his intended target.
The scale of the maps released make it child’s play to locate licensee homes. One media outlet was able to identify the exact locations of 50 firearms owners within hours.[ii]
“We have been inundated,” said Paul Fitzgerald, President of Sporting Shooters Association of Australia WA, “with members who are deeply concerned about the breach of their privacy and the potential ramifications of identifying where licensed firearm owners live.”[iii]
“The release of the location data shows a blatant disregard for the sporting and recreational shooting community and has caused significant distress for responsible gun owners,” Fitzgerald said.
Despite Fitzgerald’s demand for a public apology, Police Minister Paul Papalia instead offered the usual politically-motivated tropes.
“It’s more onerous to get a boat captain skipper certificate than it is to get a firearms license,” said Papalia.[iv]
“A Gun Owner On Every Street” screamed one headline, as though licensed firearm owners, not violent criminals, are a threat to public safety.
“A lot of farmers, particularly livestock, would own up to a dozen [firearms]. You only need one to be a threat to yourself or someone else,” said Western Australia Farmers CEO Trevor Whittington.[v]
“You’ve got to think that with 350,000 firearms in the community, some of them, many of them probably are lying around just waiting to be stolen by criminals,” said Papalia.
Sound familiar?
It should. It’s the same hate-filled rhetoric peddled by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government.
Almost unreported is the fact that Trudeau’s Liberal dog and pony show consistently ignores repeat Firearm Prohibition Order violators, and they also reduced the penalties for criminals who use and smuggle illegal guns, a fact all but unreported in the legacy media.
Around the world, licensed firearm owners are convenient scapegoats for governments who refuse to address criminal violence in any meaningful way.
Western Australia’s gun owners are just the latest to find their heads on the chopping block.
“It’s dangerous [releasing the maps],” said one veteran West Australia police officer. “I’m actually worried now. I think it’s very likely someone’s going to get their house broken into as a result of that.”
When (not if) that happens, will Minister of Police Paul Papalia take responsibility for causing this threat to public safety?
If Paul Papalia is as devoid of integrity as Justin Trudeau, Bill Blair and Marco Mendicino, and that appears to be the case, then the answer is NO.

The Remington 870 Express Trap 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun
Barrel Length: 30″ - Overall Length: 50.5″ - Safety: Crossbolt - Sights: Dual Bead - Magazines: 4-Rounds - Shell Length: 2-3/4″ to 3″ Shells
The Remington 870 Express Trap
This classic pump gun brings hunters and trap shooters the best of all worlds. Beneath the no-nonsense, ready-for-work exterior of the Model 870 Express Trap lies the same quality, precision, and dependability that you’ll find in the legendary Model 870.
Like all Model 870 shotguns, this workhorse features a receiver milled from a solid billet of steel for maximum strength and reliability. The silky-smooth twin action bars prevent binding and twisting so that you’ll always have the chance to get off a second shot. Express style non-reflective black matte metalwork and a no-frills hardwood stock and fore-end.
Its solid, dependable action makes it a favourite, and continual upgrades make it the most advanced, well-rounded pump shotgun around. Along with continually evolving designs, this shotgun’s superiority is a matter of rugged dependability, great pointing characteristics and versatility. In fact, the Model 870™ has been the standard for slide-action performance for more than 60 years.
Thanks to our friends at the Gravel Agency, you can have a chance on this one today. Please make a $10 donation to the CSSA and we will give you a FREE chance to win this great gun. Better yet, we will give you THREE chances with a $25 donation and TEN for $50.
This shotgun will find a new home on June 1, 2022.
Help us continue to defend your sport, your guns and your rights. Your generosity is most appreciated!
Please send your donation to: 870 c/o CSSA, 1143 Wentworth Street, Unit 2, Oshawa, ON L1J 8P7 or call 1-888-873-4339.
