Thread: Buy back list

Heard an interesting exchange of views - or a few minutes of it - on ZB while driving round on Saturday avo running some errands. Came on after the Devlin sports bit. They got onto the MSSA buy back subject.
Three people host Tim Roxborogh, Tim Wilson + Hayley Halt. Tim Wilson has been on to this govt scam and persecution/vilification of law abiding citizens from the get go. He also gave it to National = both barrels. And stated that this action would do NOTHING to prevent such a terrorist attack in the future. Good on him - one of the very few jouno's calling it for what it is. He re-stated this very clearly and went on to say that if the "buy back" prices were not fair and reasonable then compliance would suffer, and why should law abiding people not get fully compensated for their loss. The other Tim also spoke in support of FAL community, and seemed to acknowledge the impacts/loss. Surprisingly (to me) Hayley also seemed to have a sympathetic ear ... or initially. But as the discussion among the three continued around if the payments are not fair, ..... and people feel aggrieved ..... & dont comply with the buy back ..... you could see the penny drop for Hayley. "So now we've got seriously pissed off people who have MSSA's ....... oh shit, now what ?!"
To the credit of all us "fit & proper" citizens there has been no crazy talk, just sensible & clever ideas around how to deal with authorities & the new laws. And not make it easy for the govt confiscation. Quite understandable as there has been ZERO respect demonstrated for us and our rights.
Would be valuable if that ZB 3 way discussion got more air time on MSM.
