To me the licensed, sensible & responsible firearms owners of NZ need a decent voice that is media & PA savvy, something we seem to be sadly lacking in my opinion at the moment.

Your post summarises well what most feel about the past five months: frustration, biting our tongues, and is it really helping? Fair question.

We're not going to get our old firearms laws back, no matter who represents us, that is not meant as an excuse, just reality, better just make peace with that.

COLFO is now continuously putting press releases and good information out there to press and politicians, it is all sensible stuff, and if it does not get through nothing will. No accident that more journalists are finally doing their job to challenge the official narrative. And not surprising that Hera Cook and Co are now attacking COLFO's credibility - questioning if gun owners really are as angry as COLFO claims they are. An organisation representing 40,000 members (and potentially 250,000) is big in NZ terms and the gentle giant has now stood up and cranks its relentless and accurate information machine which is picking up speed.

The chickens WILL come home to roost.
