    new law and gun shop

    Saw an interesting gun that I'd like to try but the idea of triggering the registration put me off.
    I'm sure there are a lot more folks out there who think alike.

    It got me thinking, will we see more gunshop closing down this year or next, I hope it's just my imagination.
    Sadly, the new gun law really discourages me from stepping into my fav gun shop.

    Ultimately we will have to follow the law of the land in order to keep our FAL holder status. I have spoken to gun shop that saw a surge before the register kicked off and now have much lower sales numbers than they same time as last year. Support your local shops at a time like this, the big dogs will survive as usual, but the little guys with the local knowledge are the ones that will suffer.

    Just wait till the change of inhabitants of the Wellington bouncy castle occurs, then we should see a reset of the requirements.

    Fantasy land stuff I think. National made a statement not so long ago they don’t envisage repealing the legislation. Remember there’s some heavyweights in National that aren’t gun friendly.

    National is playing the game. They will say that right up until they need to form a government with act. They get to look good to the ignorant masses and then say, oh but act insisted.

    Hopefully enough people vote ACT and they will be big dog and National will just be the wagging tail, here's hoping!

    If you believe that it will all change then santa claus really does exist. Nothing will change

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Just need to hope that we don't have a complete clusterfluck from the system prior - but in any event something in the system MUST change as from what I can see - the numbers of complaints vs people having an easy run from those I'm actually talking too is indicating really poor performance. Either the system isn't too bad and the interface for the general public sucks, or the system isn't doing what the interface says, or the entire thing is a shambles. It would seem if you have relatively new, common items and not too many you can have a good, easy time of registering them but for anyone else it's a lottery based on who answers your call.

    As usual with anything political on here, this has turned into a shit thread.

    I'm expecting the gun violence and anti rhetoric to get feverish in the next 2 months.
    It's already started
