    Basically that's trying to cut the flow of new shooters into the sport - a direct attack on the recruitment of young people into healthy outdoor sports. It's a city-dweller one size fits all 'we don't care or even want to understand any other point of view' approach to rural sports, it shows the ethos of the people behind gun control NZ who effectively are not interested in promoting the traditional outdoor-centric NZ 'traditional' lifestyle in favour of a city-centric 'supermarket hunter' lifestyle.

    Sad really, how good health outcomes can be ignored to further what they are claiming is a better public health outcome but which in reality is the opposite and founded on ignorance. Stats are starting to show that this approach will do nothing to improve gun crime stats and if anything, make them worse and also result in worse health outcomes for people which increases costs to the health sector. Guess we all need to push this in submissions...

    Well, it ain't working. It appears lots of new shooters coming in. At least anecdotally.
