Firearms Project Community Discussion Sessions: FCAF update

I think Cahills use of the term "Hidden Arsenal" clearly shows his intention and perception on firearms. I dont have an "Arsenal" I have a small collection.

I will also email the herald and Stuart NAsh about the misdirection of the article and Cahills clear acceptance of being able to make statements that are anything but the truth. If they can only achieve 5% accuracy in recording of crime, how in hells name do they expect a register to be any use to them. Even if the made a 200% or even a 1000 percent (ten fold) improvement in accuracy, it would still be unreliable for any practical use.

Countries have arsenals.

Mr Cahill should be working for Shanghai police or something similar, he would appear to be quite at home in such a role. Non-democracies require disarming of all citizens as the totalitarian state fears the populace and desperately needs to feel itself in full control. That's why totalitarians don't like the thought of police being outgunned by lawful firearms owners. Just look North: no firearms allowed for the Chinese, even airguns!

The NZ democratic state on the other hand does not fear NZ citizens, armed or otherwise - for the simple reason that we get to overthrow our government every few years or more, without bloodshed!

Went to the Christchurch meeting. It was in a small room with chairs for about 30. But the audience was much bigger than the room and extended around the corner and out of the entrance. I was near the back of the large standing crowd. Could hear about 20% of what was said. Don't know about all of the tinnitus/deaf as a post affected hunters there. Obviously, there was expectation of a very few turning up. The most surprising thing was that the room for the meeting was over a pub: made a bit of a joke of the guns and alcohol don't mix element of the rules that we follow.

Went to the Timaru meeting last night - approx. 45-50 attended. Meeting went well. Thought that Mike had the right attitude and seemed personable. Last questioned asked, by me, was "what is his realistic timeframe going to be to implement the changes" 12-24 months was the answer.
"consistencey" was the biggest issue raised.

His stats are just straight up fake. He says half a million guns have been imported in 10 years when it is literally half that.

Hamilton meeting was very close to 100 people
