Thread: Hello..

Thanks for the welcomes, happy to receive.
So what are we going to do about the incentive for police to remove our licences?
Farmers put on a pretty good show a few weeks ago. A lot of you guys will fall into that basket. Why should it stop at carbon foot prints? They are pulling the rug out from under us effectively.
I know a lot will agree. Recent member of the community, so maybe this has run its course already. But after being informed by an arms officer, it bothers me even more.
He pretty much said you can have your licence revoked over traffic fines. He was pretty good about it, non threatening... but thats how it is now.
What to do?

This is a very good question and I do not have the answer. As responsible firearms license holders there is an onus upon us not to act in a manner that could alarm or be perceived as threatening to members of the public. That said, I participated in a couple of protests against the buy back in Auckland and they were by and large completely ineffective in getting the message of injustice across so I believe there is a need to protest in a manner that grabs greater attention (again I don’t know how). Whilst it grates against every fibre of my make up to promote civil disobedience, doing something more attention grabbing seems to me to be warranted. The challenge is to moderate the action so that is is seen as being a reasonable venting of frustration rather than a bunch of fight wing rednecks nutting off.

You mirrored my sentiment exactly!
