Thread: Call to End Firearms Advertising.

There is a wider point here

I think that the agenda which Ms Cook represents is seeking to marginalise firearms ownership as something abnormal or shameful like the way that cigarette advertising and alcohol advertising is banned
I think that they want to cut us off and set us apart so that they can paint FAL holders in a light which shows us as weirdo paranoid gun nuts

Some of the 2nd amendment US ranting style reactions plays right into their hands
Personal attacks also play into their hands

I fully support us publicly pointing out how much taxpayers money is being spent by Ms Cook and her associates for very little gain and I believe that this is a better strategy for getting the NZ public onside

Under Labour there is a lot of public money being thrown at consultants for LetsGetWgtnMoving/ Polytechs among plenty of other projects close to their tax-raising hearts

Anyone remember the hip-hop tour scandal?

This sort of angle is going to win more hearts and minds than fussing over tampons

The NZ public are starting to become aware that Labour is pissing their tax dollars up against a wall for very little gain in an inflationary world, if we as FAL owners can ride that tide of pointing out government wastage then we have practically written their articles for them

On that note, the Firearms Register is going to be a HUGE waste of money, we should bang that drum more

I think that the mood of the nation is better shown by articles like Rebecca Stevenson's latest in interest.co

Many here may disagree with what she says but I think that she has her finger on the pulse more than others


It is REALLY easy for some lazy hack to quote an inflammatory personal attack esp on a woman and chuck us all in the bin for it
