    Hey guys, for us who are not members of clubs, is COLFO going to be the main spokesperson ? (Haven’t signed up yet)
    I would like to know where I can go to ensure I get to at least put some support or say in.

    Hi guys, thanks for your answers on the hunting question. Grant posted it on my behalf as i was tied up with other things yesterday. I am collecting the info for my wife who is on the COLFO council, Game animal council, and the rural representative of the police FCAF forum. I am sure you can guess why we are collecting this info.

    Indeed they will, but if I'm going to be raped I would rather have a say in to what degree, not just lay there and take the shafting without voicing an opinion.

    Yes.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    All our governments do, central and local body.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    If the majority of FAL holders were members of COLFO we might of had a chance?

    I'm fine with losing my semis. I will cry over my shotgun I bought as a child, but I'm not a child anymore.

    What repulses me is the total lack of emphasis on criminals over law abiding individuals. I am also dissapointed in the police who seem more concerned about very low firearm statistics than they are about the Meth/Gang epidemic.

    That and because of the language in use by the police and media, I am under no illusion they will move onto bolt actions the moment semis are banned.

    I to won't cry over my semis, well probably just the $3.5k I spent at the end of last year on new optics, mags and reloading supplies. Say goodbye to that.
    The thing that has hit me the hardest has been the appalling media and general public attack on law abiding gun owners who have had nothing to do with that coward.

    100% agree, we have seen the power of the media all over the world.
    It doesn’t have to be factual, it just has to get our attention.
