Not giving feedback is akin to not voting in the general election, then bitching about who got elected....

And if you do give feedback, you get to say I told you so!

Exactly.
That's why I'm voting for Lisa Lewis to be Mayor. Then I can bitch and complain for the next 3 years!

In my opinion, the new rules in general weren't needed. They're being shunted into place as a knee jerk reaction to the Christchurch terrorist attack. If the legislation and correct firearms licensing procedures had been followed in that instance, the shooter would never have obtained an FL license. I suspect the correct licensing procedures weren't followed partly as a result of resourcing issues with firearms licensing. This problem with a lack of resourcing for firearms licensing has gotten worse in recent years. It would make more sense to direct adequate resourcing to firearms licensing. But this obviously hasn't happened.

This government will push it through regardless. And it's the type of legislation subsequent governments will be 'gunshy' about going back on.
