I found it interesting how they moderated comments on all the facebook posts too. pretty much zero posts ended up being visible. They blamed it on trolls but I think a lot of it was actually license holders asking sensible or hard to answer questions. The lack of supporting comments from the pro-gun control group spoke volumes about the impact Hera Crook and here lefty goblins have actually garnered.

The are anti vaxers. Everything they push furthers their confirmation bias towards firearms. as said above, they will not answer any questions on their FB page as that leads them into debate, and their not up for that as its to difficult for them. Unfortunately the media love them, as can be seen by the coverage they get. They have been visiting parliament and pushing their agenda onto MP's. They are now applying to charities for funding to allow them to mount a campaign against us. Below is what they are up to at the moment.

How you can help get effective gun control
1. Consider donating some more to Gun Control NZ. We're going to be concentrating our funding on a social media campaign to encourage people to make submissions to Parliament on the next round of legislation. We need some more money to pay for content production and advertising/social media boosts. Our bank account is
Gun Control NZ Incorporated 38 9020 0520557 00
2. We need your help to spread the word about Gun Control NZ. Please tell your friends and family about us: face to face, via email or social media. Please get the word out. If you have any blogs, websites or public social media profiles, please also include our website: Gun Control NZ This helps move us up the Google search rankings so other people can find us too.
3. If you belong to another organisation (peace groups, women’s organisations, professional groups, unions, faith groups etc) that has an interest in gun control, please encourage them to join Gun Control NZ as an affiliate and endorse our platform. We need to build a broad coalition to effect change.
4. Do you have any famous (in NZ) or influential friends? Are you famous or influential in NZ? We are always on the looking for people with a strong public profile who are willing to speak publicly about gun control. Drop us a line info@guncontrol.nz if you can help us recruit someone influential to the cause.
5. Have you had any direct experience of gun violence? We’re seeking people who are willing to share their personal stories about why they support gun control.
6. Volunteer with us. We’re on the look out for people with video production/editing skills, as well as anyone with communications, media or marketing backgrounds. We need help with other things too, so drop us a line if you’re interested.

So not only are we fighting govt on the current gun issues, but these fuckwits are wanting to remove what little we are going to have left. This is why we all need to get behind COLFO, this will be our last roll of the dice.
