faith is for the religious not the political .
im supremely hopeful that nicole gets her way we get our way.,
theres just two problems seymour not getting the deputys job straight away and winnies penchent for burning shit down if he dont get his way.
make that three prob;ems
your telling me that the incoming government thats about to hit the public service like a ellesmere chopper cull is goin to set up more of a beaurocracy by cutting the cops out of the firearms authority completely there,by adding more levels peeps and cost to it.
ALSO
[

All they need to do to get the general public on side with this is to say they are going to come down hard like sledge hammer hard on illegal fire arms owners ie gangs and that they are going to actively hunt them down and find the guns.And then ultimately relax the laws again for the law abiding again.

which is why theyre going to have to sooth the cops feelings while quietly sidelineing thier silliest and ineffective components, \
you cant expect cops to target guns from gangs risking life and limb
if you basicly say the cops are the problem in the first place.
maybe nicole could start on doc next

100% speculation

I think the news is very promising.

To get the firearms act replaced within this term means firearms owners can't just do nothing, they will need to do submissions and participate, we have to support Nicole and this will be how we do it.
I'm looking forward to the review of the registry, all those that have registered their firearms and have had incorrect information entered because the correct information wasn't in the menu will need to speak up and participate in the review. How can a registry be effective when the information is incorrect, and if it doesn't matter that that information isn't correct then why is that information needed.

We, as firearm owners need to participate, apathy isn't an option if we want good outcomes.

100 % agree

We can all, no matter what our internal differences are, agree that if we help to build security for our chosen sports and pastime then we can get a better outcome for shooting in general and also remind the antis that we are a political force not to be fucked with
