Sorry for having not great spelling in the title didn’t realise it was such a touchy subject. There was no disrespect meant by calling him lad.

Hey I could tell that, and none would find it funnier than Chas!

Don't apologize mate, Karen's will always be Karen's.

Chaz will get my support, Ive seen happen exactly what he is saying about the reversed effect of a register on firearms numbers. In South Africa it blew up in the enforcers faces and suddenly the number of legally owned and licenced firearms multiplied 6fold.

Club membership multiplied many times over and resulting in legal shooting activities sky rocketing.

Be careful what you wish for, They may use that to work out the license fees

Someone's speling sucks. That's about all I got out of that title because I can't read it.

I see Chaz quite often. He is what I call a Gun Academic. He should really be knighted at some stage. We'll wait till he's dead or we'll never hear the end of it.

If you ever hear anyone refer to the NZ ""Gun Lobby"" (or some similar invented phrase to make NZ firearms holders look like theyre aligned with some white supremacist group in the USA) understand that they are really just referring to Chaz Forsyth.

I'm just glad I'm not alone in my difficulties with spelling and grammar!

Chaz is a super nice bloke (an official title by the sounds of it). A fountain of knowledge when it comes to firearms. Always great to run into him at the range or around town.

Chaz can do all the above while spelling all his words correctly. You must think he's superhuman.

havent seen him for near on 30 years..one heck of a nice bloke who really knows his guns inside and out....always remember his article on rifled .12ga and the experiments he did with them..lets lots of daylight in was one phrase used.

There is a dearth of information in Chaz’s research that brings into question many of the lies the police and politicians and in particular Cahill have been shouting out to the ignorant media propagandists.
I know this because he has been asking me to read through it and give my opinion quite a few times in past couple of years. I have huge respect for Chaz and his life’s work.
In my opinion this is who the Media should seek intelligent and informed comment from but they go to the likes of Cahill (proven liar) Hera Cook (a self confessed Marxist who is internet famous for losing her debate with a pro gun Canadian woman for starting the debate with a “feelings trump facts” approach) or worse any Green MP where they then run any dribble they spout unchallenged? The only caveat I would add is that Chaz has in my opinion a very healthy scepticism when it comes to dealing with reporters.
PS One of Chaz’s great challenges in the last few years of research has been the police not actually having kept proper records to back up many of the claims they have made. So when you want to analyse a claim made by them the reply is often given that we don’t keep records on this.

sounds like niwa and...others.

Probably a coincidence

....no, I'm just pointing out that there is no need to be a pedantic twat.

It’s interesting to see how a bit of miss spelling has triggered people.

There’s plenty on this site that post poorly spelt comments, often with equally poor grammar.

Does that diminish the value of their contributions? Not in my books!

Who am I to pick holes in another members grammar and or spelling?

Been talking too/sitting at the same table as Chaz (NZDA Life member) this weekend in Ashburton for the NZDA 75th Conference, a fountain of knowledge for sure

Was a great conference, Nicole was there with plenty of interesting things to say & received a well deserved standing ovation

Dame Linda Topp did an amazing job as MC, gave my sir name an extremely posh twist, much to the delight of many
