And in the US the majority of furearrelated deaths is with handguns. Besides which, what happens in the US has little bearing on NZ. Jackie used the pokices negligence in giving Tarrant a license, as a platform to promote her self image if Saint cindy. She didn't achieve anything other than being seen to be doing something. A recurring theme which is why the wheels finally fell off.

You still missing the point, you want to throw other disciplines of hunting and shooting under the bus? It comes back on you. NZDA got a rude lesson on that.

Yes if you have statements from the police, put them up. Likewise OIA requests with info supporting your claims, put them up.

And as for missing the point. I’ll try and be a little clearer.
I’m not throwing any discipline under the bus. The bus has already run over your beloved military style semi auto.
I’m simply stating what I see as the obvious.
They’re gone. There’s as much chance of Act or National rescinding the MSSA law there is of slavery returning.
The general public find them abhorrent, the Nats and Act will pick their battles, and MSSA will not be one of them.

As I said in the beginning, we as a hunting-shooting community need to decide what’s important to us, what’s realistically achievable.
As you said: onerous and unworkable rules around ranges are a perfect example.
Now Todd and his role is in play we must begin the process of putting rational and reasoned arguments on the table.
