Firearms Project Community Discussion Sessions: FCAF update

[stretch]

Does COLFO actually do anything?

Just about to renew some subs for the year, and at present they are not getting a cent.....

They have a seat at the FCAF table, and have the ear of politicians more than any other group. http://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/p...advisory-forum

Take a look at the bullet points on that page as to why certain organisations are invited to represent us.

Membership of the Forum comprises both Police employees and non-Police employees. The non-Police members were selected for their:

broad skills, knowledge and understanding of firearms and issues/legislation relating to firearms
relevant practical experience and networks within the firearms community
ability to represent a diversity of perspectives within the firearms community
personal attributes and ability to work constructively with, and make a contribution to the Forum
being a representative of an incorporated group (who can represent the views of the group rather than their individual view).

While FOUNZ, KGB and NSA are more active in the blogging and social media environment (and they do great work), I imagine Police see them as hostile parties, so they don't get a seat at the table.

They're all fighting the same fight, they just go about it in different, complementary ways.
