Greetings Cordite,
I certainly would not lose any sleep over it. It always helps to look at the source. The New Conservative Party is the old Conservative Party started by Colin Craig (remember him?) renamed. The party has had two turns at bat in the elections and scored two ducks. Currently they are sitting at 0.8% in the polls so a hat trick of ducks looks likely. Looking through their candidates I find only one name that rings a bell and can,t remember why. Does this sound like a reliable source to you?
Rest Easy Grandpamac.

Cheers Grandpamac,

Resting easy myself as nought bigger than 7.7mm in my safe.

It is well-known that Cahill is unhappy with what he calls "sniper rifles" out there, so I don't get it what is so incredible about >300WinMag falling victim. We are still to be faced with the 3rd, 4th and 5th tranche of firearms reforms. If not gunning for "sniper rifles", what then? As for semi shotties, PM did want to ban the firearms the Chch gunman used, not just limit their capacity.

It is not safe to dismiss someone who is a committed sports shooter and an IPSC champion in recent years and an investor of millions in the sport as an unreliable source on something important to the shooting community ... just because they are standing for parliament in a certain political party. If Victoria O'Brien says her source is reliable, people better take heed. There is no peace, so let's not go round pretending there is.
