Good to see a sensible & rational review of facts.
Faarrrrk - I must tell Chaz someone called him a lad! Hint - it's debatable wether he'd have been born in the 40s or 50s Haha
And Chaz might challenge the threads titles piss poor spelling/grammar! Who's the 'young lad' that didn't do well at school? Lucky it's not part of the firearm application process! lol
He's certainly not a lad in any sense. It was a doctorial thesis. In trade terms these are the approximate equivalents
Lad= bachelor degree eg BSc
Chap= master's degree eg MSc
Bloke= doctorate eg PhD
Therefore he must be a bloke, and a good one at that😊
It's a bit of a low blow taking the piss out of people's spelling and grammar, school wasn't everyones forte. My missus has number dyslexia and has a masters and a phD, but I'm sure with Lecturers like you she'd be facing the wall in the corner.Quote:

If you are expecting to find such on an internet forum, save us all some time and just fuck off.
Someone appears to have an anger management issue over an opinion and also needs to get over it.
...more a wry observation. If you see fit to comment on people's writing on a forum, then I suggest you may have an issue.Quote:

Are you OK?
Its amazing how a few "grumpy" actors manage to divert attention away from good and honest discussions...
For those unaware Chaz Forsyth in the topic article of this thread has written a huge number of articles over the years supporting licensed firearm users mainly in the recreation hunting side. Chaz is well respected within NZDA circles, a life member and at times will take the media to task over their inaccurate articles published. Chaz continues to voice his opinions on matters than concern us all.
Given the costs involved in operating the registry, a good decent cost/benefit/risk analysis including what else that money could provide would be a useful exercise. Circa 1.5million a week if I heard correctly?Quote:

Be careful what you wish for, They may use that to work out the license feesQuote:

I see Chaz quite often. He is what I call a Gun Academic. He should really be knighted at some stage. We'll wait till he's dead or we'll never hear the end of it.
If you ever hear anyone refer to the NZ ""Gun Lobby"" (or some similar invented phrase to make NZ firearms holders look like theyre aligned with some white supremacist group in the USA) understand that they are really just referring to Chaz Forsyth.
I'm just glad I'm not alone in my difficulties with spelling and grammar!
Chaz is a super nice bloke (an official title by the sounds of it). A fountain of knowledge when it comes to firearms. Always great to run into him at the range or around town.

havent seen him for near on 30 years..one heck of a nice bloke who really knows his guns inside and out....always remember his article on rifled .12ga and the experiments he did with them..lets lots of daylight in was one phrase used.
There is a dearth of information in Chaz’s research that brings into question many of the lies the police and politicians and in particular Cahill have been shouting out to the ignorant media propagandists.
I know this because he has been asking me to read through it and give my opinion quite a few times in past couple of years. I have huge respect for Chaz and his life’s work.
In my opinion this is who the Media should seek intelligent and informed comment from but they go to the likes of Cahill (proven liar) Hera Cook (a self confessed Marxist who is internet famous for losing her debate with a pro gun Canadian woman for starting the debate with a “feelings trump facts” approach) or worse any Green MP where they then run any dribble they spout unchallenged? The only caveat I would add is that Chaz has in my opinion a very healthy scepticism when it comes to dealing with reporters.
PS One of Chaz’s great challenges in the last few years of research has been the police not actually having kept proper records to back up many of the claims they have made. So when you want to analyse a claim made by them the reply is often given that we don’t keep records on this.

sounds like niwa and...others.
Probably a coincidence
....no, I'm just pointing out that there is no need to be a pedantic twat.Quote:

There’s plenty on this site that post poorly spelt comments, often with equally poor grammar.
Does that diminish the value of their contributions? Not in my books!
Who am I to pick holes in another members grammar and or spelling?
Been talking too/sitting at the same table as Chaz (NZDA Life member) this weekend in Ashburton for the NZDA 75th Conference, a fountain of knowledge for sure
Was a great conference, Nicole was there with plenty of interesting things to say & received a well deserved standing ovation :cool:
Dame Linda Topp did an amazing job as MC, gave my sir name an extremely posh twist, much to the delight of many :thumbsup:
Yes Greg, we noticed to our delight! Another great conference and some interesting discussions.
I knew Chas years ago, though not seen him for ages now, we live at opposite ends of the island. I always thought he was one of the clearest thinkers I've ever come across & a man of amazing passion for shooting as a pass time, that includes pretty much any aspect of it too, cartridge collecting, gunsmithing, shooting, hunting & as we've read, the legal bit. Thanks goodness he is on our side.
Pedantic is pointing out someone is missing an apostrophe. This is on a whole new level entirely. Well worthy of discussion. But it seems Sam's spelling has improved to perfection in only a couple of posts, so he doesn't need you standing up for him anymore.Quote:
