Firearms Project Community Discussion Sessions: FCAF update

[csmiffy]

Given the high number of westcoast firearms owners would have thought their input would be sought .out of common courtesy at very least.

I doubt it very much-if they have an agenda to push through they will do whatever it takes to make it happen
My one and only experience with community consultation was as a chair on a board of trustees for a school in the firing line in a nationwide school review to close schools.
As far as I was concerned it was a farce. Anecdotal evidence of farming communities having their one and only community consultation meeting held right in the fat part of milking so few could turn up for example.
It was basically a forum where they could show that they consulted with us but were told all the way through that it may not make any difference anyway.
I found it was a classic example of "yes minister" where the staff of the ministry dept. managed to push their agenda onto a govt who were willing to barge it through care of their hit man Trevor Mallard. managed to keep our school but closed down 5 out of 8 schools and merged them.
So no I doubt they have common courtesy and do not trust them to do what's right.
