Just sent this. thanks @Kiwigunguy for the effort in making that contact list.
Hi there,
I am one of many sport shooters who are affected by the recently rushed and poorly written law to ban semi automatics (including many traditional bolt action and pump action sporting guns) from public possession and/or use.
Surely without bias towards either side of the argument you can see the error in the governments ways of rushing this law through without respectable due process.
Since when has anything rushed resulted in anything other than a sub standard product?
The very people who advocated rushing this law through will, when asked about any other parliamentary process tell you that good things take time.
Jacinda Adern authorised the order in council which had already 'saved us' so the only reason to rush this through was to use public emotion to support extreme measures against a 'problem' that exists only in the lala land of media hype and leftism lunacy.
Am I speaking logic? Or am I rambling, clutching at straws? If you choose the latter then please replace the word 'firearm' and apply this whole issue to some other part of daily life and see how it looks.
A proper look into the ACTUAL statistics will show you a very different story than what the police union and the rest of the mob have been feeding the country. Remember there is always two sides to a story...... Mike Loader has the real statistics AND the evidence to back up his claims, to anyone who can be bothered asking.... Kiwi gun blog is where you will find him.
Your venue's use as a confiscation (buy back) hub shows your willingness to support ignorant legislation that not only is unfair to so many upstanding citizens of our fine country, but it also indicates that you have zero respect for proper democratic process which should be devoid from emotionally charged rationale.
I urge you to politely decline use of your venue for this totally unfairly constructed confiscation (buy back).
Your feedback to the police should include a request for the whole lot to be redone with proper consideration towards legitimate use of semiautomatic rifles (just like pistols).
We are being nationally ridiculed and shunned by society for our chosen sports and interests and I personally feel this law is an embarrassment to the word democracy.
Sincerely
