The State of the Forum

[Cordite]

@Gibo; Goodness me etc etc

So long. Wanted to send you a PM but it seems disabled for some reason. Hope things work out. Member of BRC?

[keneff]

There are real genuine people using their real names, talking real sense on these gun issues and advocating for everyone, but using other and more impactful platforms to do it. Those you condemn here might just be some of them. They are the brave hearted.

Fit the the fuss to the forum. Not the forum to the fuss.

@Tahr My real name is Kenneth John Fabris. If you want my real address please PM me. I'd love to have you come to my home and have the debate you don't want in the forum. We can have a beer (won't be waikato) and have it out. Other than that, I am not interested in your wimpishness. I promise no violence - I'm too old for that shit - so are you coming up?

There are some good blokes on a forum called NZ Hunter and the hunted.

Pre-roar 2019. At the time I counted 63.

Attachment 111237

Seems like all the deer in the North Island are there. And far away from where I'm hunting



Maybe some people need to accept that we can influence the situation in a very limited way. The way some of you carry on I'm surprised you guys don't have high blood pressure from stressing yourselves out.

The forum topics are like a TV Channel. If you not interested in the topic dont TUNE in! I havnt read anything on here about the new firearms law and the so called ranting that some members appear to be doing.
Have no interest in reading the crap amount the common sence posts on the topic so i just dont click on to that subject as just not interested.
Its all good for some to rant and moan about the politics appearing and the way the forum is going but if , like me, didnt read that crap in the first place you be much happier.
Ive enjoyed all the ""channels ""ive tuned in for as they interest me and if i happen to see something thats not what i really like to read switch Channels and read another subject

I imagine if this forum had been in existence after aramoana and the changes that occurred then, the comments would've been much the same.

Like it or not, Brenton Tarrant struck NZ society a severe blow. We as Firearms owners have been tarred with the same brush.

It will take time and effort to get past the consequences of what has happened. That is reflected in the feeling on the forum.

Cheers Max. Time is all I have left and I know effort is wasted. Fuckit. Can't be bothered any more. These cunts think they're okay because it's had no financial issues so far. But it's gonna come, whether they see it or not. I just don't care. Their issues will come when thy've got the bang on the door at 4AM. Fuckit - I don't care any more. Seeya.

[Preacher]

Fucks sakes people. What happened here?

Are we not Adults? With different opinions maybe?

Seems like a bunch of people are being little bitches over fuck all. Don't agree with someone or something then say so, but allow others to do the same.

So fucken pathetic lately.

[keneff]

I thought you had thrown your toys and left? I'm glad you've stuck around but please don't be so mean to one person if they have a different view.. I'll never call you a fuckwit just because you think differently..... show some maturity

Mate, I love your concern and appreiate it. I have left, but keep getting notices on my phone. I don't have toys I can afford to throw, and i try not to be petty, REALLY try. but a fuckwit is a fuckwit and some of us don;t seem to see what is going on or how it's going to affect us all. So I say what I say, and if you don't like what I say, I can't help tht, either, but it is what it is and we'll all soon be told to hand ALL our firearms in to the plod. Do you not see this?

[Sideshow]

From my viewpoint this was a 9/11 like event for New Zealand. Having known hundreds of Kiwis over 20 years, lived with them, worked with them and more, I have always detected an element of a psyche that we are far away from the world's problems and above it. Some of that almost bordering on smugness about it. So for some foreign terrorist to come into a place like Christchurch and do what he did drives a bulldozer through that safe world psyche. And then on top of it, the government turned full totalitarian almost immediately and began attacking the citizens with attacks on the freedom of speech, gun ownership and property rights.

So people cope in a lot of different ways. Some are going to be angry, some sad, some vocal, some not, some in denial, some woken up, some don't care at all. In any case it's going to take a while to work all that out and lots of people are under stress right now with an inconsistent government, a heavy handed government in some cases and the financial loss for many that have money tied up in firearms.

Going forward it's just going to be a fact that politics will be entwined with firearms. I had to realize that myself that if I did not stand up and start petitioning my representatives and stay involved while working with other gun owners and organizations that gradually over time totalitarians are going to do what totalitarians do and continue to take and take. A lot of people in New Zealand are facing that reality that they can sit and do nothing and watch all shooting sports, hunting and marksmanship skills vanish over a generation or two of government gradually tightening the noose on it or they can start to get more actively involved in what goes on in government.

For me Jacinda has already affected my plans with the clampdown on foreign ownership and now with possibilities for me to hunt and do sport shooting going bye bye, I'm in a quandary about my own plans going forward, whether investing in a small business and living there for part of the year and doing the things I want will even be possible. When I visit next summer I'm probably going to make some decisions about what to do next.

In any case, keep in mind everyone is in this together and while there is much difference in opinion to me that is all good. Through discussion good ideas are formed and we all in the end have to work together because right now there is a lot of evil, deceptive people aligned against us.

[Gibo]

As you said, you're unaffected.

Read again, so far financially un affected.

[2post]

No one is unaffected.

[Blisters]

No one is unaffected.

I'm fine. happy with my single shot cheers

I'm fine. happy with my single shot cheers

Hard to tell if that’s a pisstake or not. Not a semi auto owner at the moment (was in the past) it guts me a little to hear and see other LFAOs seemingly unaffected concern that” my firearm is not affected so I don’t care..”. Guess what ...they want them all.. eventually. There’ll be nobody left to help you fight to keep yours , cos everyone else has lost theirs and THEY won’t care. No hate just a observation.
