    Did anyone counter that man's argument @Beavis?

    I struggle with people who choose to be that deliberately naive. Little does that ridiculous man know, LFAO's will always have more firepower then the police which is a pointless remark regardless.

    I pointed out that:

    There really isn't much evidance to call for that - our firearm crime is really low, despite the proliferation of semi auto rifles

    The same A cat shooter can go to the local gun store and get a Beretta Extrema and fill it up with buck shot, have an equally deadly weapon depending on the circumstances

    But the conversation got shut down by Mike because it was irrelevant to the meeting.

    We also recommended that payment for licensing be facilitated online - Mike was keen on this, more or less said it should be a given in this day and age.

    I bought up examples of AO's interpreting the arms act to suit their own prejudices or what not. Mike stated that it is a training issue and they had dropped the ball on this. I also mentioned that front counter staff should be able to handle mail order forms without fobbing it off as no their responsibility. Another training issue to be resolved.

    Yup Napier went much the same way.

    Had fudd and son hunters there, trying to suggest there should also be a practical element to getting E cat also as well as the changes to getting a standard license, then when question about it started to tell us about the fully auto firearms we were shooting.
    Was quickly cut down, but made a nuisance the rest of the meeting.

    Mike asked me to email him details about my gas block import permit saga after telling him about it. Whilst he seemed genuine at the time, I continue to have little faith anything will come from it.
