Thread: Richard Lincoln

Cordite, it's public record mate. Don't take my word for it, god knows you seem to be a one-man-band raising funds and support for the guy...

Go read paragraph 2 of his submission to the Law and Order committee in May 2011

Go read paragraph 2 of his submission to the Law and Order committee in May 2011

Thanks, I think this must be the submission you refer to: https://www.parliament.nz/resource/0000163901

Para 2, reads: "We access a membership of approximately 229,977 firearms license holders. These members are all of (or very near to) voting age, they all value highly their liberty to participate in their sport with firearms and are highly motivated to vote in general elections."

Slightly clearer than mud. Lincoln uses the word "access" as opposed to "have" - an unusual use of the word, but this does mean he does not necessarily refer to the actual NSA membership roll. As if to clarify this, when reading on in the next sentence he cannot give an exact number of said membership, which he would be expected to be able to do if talking about the NSA membership roll. Instead, he can only approximate it, because he is talking of all current NZ FAL holders and only the NZ Police have their exact current number.

The rest of the document gives a flavour of Mr Lincoln's representation of shooters, worth a read.

Don't feel sorry for me now. I've made up my mind that he's value for money for shooters AND that he is being screwed over, so I don't mind donating a bit of time and money.

Would do same for you if I found you were in similar trouble.
