Act was the only one who stood up and said something when EVERYONE else was signing us away.....

Hi Dogmatix,
Organisations such as COLFLO do not have leverage unllke seats in Parliament.
You are correct regarding fragmentation we need one entity which is why some you mention must amalgamate for the greater benefit and the rest disregard.
I would be in favour of this amalgamated party having a title without reference to firearms in the name but have core principles to protect licenced firearm owners interests in the manifesto.
Those that think the new legislation does not affect them need to wake up, if not now then what is coming sure as hell will.
Regards

sorry about this but heres a snippet that seems to sum up our plight....

just insert relevent groups where appropriate

In the 2017 NZ general election 2,605,854 votes were cast from an eligible 3,298,009 voters.
The 5% threshold to gain Parliamentary representation would be 130,293 votes, how many licence holders are there again?
As previously mentioned muster all the shooting interest groups under one party and potentially this party would hold the balance of power after the next general election.
Act possibly is the over arching party if David Seymour and company have an interest and that is a simple conversation to have otherwise form a new party.
How hard is this really, divided we fall.

Yup, the way I see it ACT supported us from the start. So it really comes down to either KIWI or ACT, ACT has been good to us but KIWI is a party of shooters from what I read????
Anyone got any more info on this?
I'd like to see a thread debating the pros and cons between these two parties.

Voting wise from my personal view, we have nothing to loose. And the countries finances can go to hell if it means a good outcome for the shooting sports.

I was a staunch National voter, now never again. RED or BLUE is just a purple mess.
