Case in point, everybody was happy to sacrifice e cat shooters to try and save themselves even thought that would never happen, and they were told it wouldn't work.

Now you want sympathy? Now you want to stick together? No, it's a case of those next on the chopping block wanting more voices to defend them after throwing others under the bus.

who said anyone was HAPPY TO SACRIFICE e cat shooters????????
it was going to happen no matter what the entire shooting community did....and as flyblown has said above,a vast majority of shooting community had seen the shit going on before hand and the anti police spewing out now has been final straw in turning them off listening.
when said eCAT USERS deliberately flouted the rules and supported importers of goods to further pervert said laws,they were shitting in the communal nest
I shall type that out again SHITTING IN THE COMMUNAL NEST.
thrown under bus my arse...collateral damage YES. unfortunate causulty caught in cross fire from kneejerk excuse to forfill predeterminded ajenda YES but the were not in any way thrown under bus but other firearm users.......no more than they ere after aromoana shootings saw law changes to lower magazine capacity and new endorsement category created..... the laws were there to allow these firearm types to be used in responsible manner AND VAST MAJORITY OF FOLKS DID COMPLY....but some didnt and it bit EVERYONE in the arse....and the biting is still going on.

That's quite a claim, do you have any evidence to back it up?

yes.many discussions with other firearms users/hunters over the last 20 years where you may be surprised to hear,I was advocating for folks to be allowed to use whatever they wanted..... plus PMs with members of this and other forums who had dropped out/off and when asked why they had..answer was always the same,they didnt want to be associated with folks spewing out anti police,anti govt stuff continually one was worried he would loose his job if continued to be member of website.

fit n proper sort of thing.
your FAL, your right to gamble it however you see fit...just dont expect me to see and raise you with my own.

There probably isn't anything to back the claim up. And I doubt anti-police rhetoric has had a significant impact on their attitude in general. Apart from making them more cynical, and likely wanting to punch a few people in the chops.

A reframe would be "people who spew anti police rhetoric because of gun issues are unlikely to be listened to or taken seriously".
