David Shoebridge apologises to FOU for “Hitler” tweet

fouadmin March 21, 2018 David Shoebridge, News 1 Comment

You may recall a few weeks ago, the Guardian ran a story about FOU President James Buckle that contained defamatory and grossly untrue content.

Furthermore, Greens MP David Shoebridge put out this tweet in response to the article:

After we reviewed the content of the article and Mr Shoebridge’s tweet and undertook comprehensive consideration of our legal options , we sent this to both Mr Shoebridge and Michael McGowan at the Guardian:

Yesterday, David Shoebridge tweeted this:

 

We unreservedly accept David Shoebridge’s retraction and apology.

The Guardian has notified us that it has pulled the article from it’s website, pending review. We have yet to hear anything more from the Guardian.

We remind our members and the public that we will under no circumstances tolerate slanderous and baseless defamatory attacks like this on our organisation, which has no affiliation with any other political organisation and is solely interested in the preservation, protection and promotion of firearm rights in Australia.

Yours in unity,

The FOU team.

Firearm Owners United

Firearm Owners United was founded in response to the many hysterical voices crying out for further gun control in this country. We already go through so many hoops to get our firearms as it is. We do not need more hoops. We don’t need a mother/father figure deciding what’s the best for us. We are Law Abiding Firearm Owners, and we are sick of being treated like second-class citizens.
