    Firearms Project Community Discussion Sessions: FCAF update

    Hi All,

    If interested,

    Good morning FCAF members

    "In Police’s effort to review and improve the administration of the Arms Act, the Arms Act Service Delivery Group is looking closely at how Police can best deliver firearms related services to the public in a timely, consistent, and cost effective manner.

    To assist with this work, the project team are looking to meet with Police district staff and firearms user community members for participatory discussion sessions in all police districts. These sessions are designed in a way that it will enable you to contribute creatively to the current thinking around challenges, opportunities, needs and wants of the firearms community when interacting with Police for Arms Act related services. We want to hear about any insights you may have from your interaction with the Police and external agencies involved in delivery of services. We will also spend some time to understand from you what you think are the areas we need to focus on and how we may improve our service model to deliver consistent, timely and efficient services to you. During the workshop, you will have a chance to ask questions, have open and genuine discussion and provide any feedback to help us shape our understanding of unique issues in your community.



    The schedule of visits is shown below. While the times and dates will remain unchanged, the schedule will be updated with venue locations as we finalise arrangements with venue providers. Updates will be published on the News and Updates section of the Police website News and updates | New Zealand Police.



    All firearms community members are welcome to attend and I would be grateful if you could distribute this information widely across your networks.

    Dates and times are not very user friendly to the general WORKING interested party.
    Is that a deliberate ploy

    It’s important enough I’ll be there regardless

    Yes I appreciate not all workers will have the flexibility.

    But this is important. I’m certainly concerned that non-hunters/shooters loaded with media hype will present a skewed and disproportionate perspective on firearm safety in our community

    Given the high number of westcoast firearms owners would have thought their input would be sought .out of common courtesy at very least.

    If this is their consultation process, and you guys are raising valid concerns, then it is imperative those concerns are made public at the forums, or in writing via whatever process is established.

    Do not assume that by questioning, or, dare I say it, venting on this forum you have done your bit; you haven’t. You need to ensure whatever concerns, questions and praise you might have are directed, and duly recorded within the appointed process.

    I for one am becoming increasingly aware that ‘consultation’ requires active and intelligent participation.

    And if the implications are unclear to you, that in itself is a danger sign.

    Ask yourself;

    How will these changes benefit me?
    How might these changes benefit my family, my community?

    How will this process benefit legitimate users of firearms per our current situation and classifications?

    How will this directly reduce the risks associated with firearms, including possession and use of firearms by non-licenced users, including criminal elements?

    Yes, put it into writing. Danger is that "consultations" will otherwise be able to get abused in a cherry picking manner to push through predetermined agendas/"conclusions".

    Sorry, this is an ongoing thing: no end in sight. Just gotta keep on keeping on.

    I doubt it very much-if they have an agenda to push through they will do whatever it takes to make it happen
    My one and only experience with community consultation was as a chair on a board of trustees for a school in the firing line in a nationwide school review to close schools.
    As far as I was concerned it was a farce. Anecdotal evidence of farming communities having their one and only community consultation meeting held right in the fat part of milking so few could turn up for example.
    It was basically a forum where they could show that they consulted with us but were told all the way through that it may not make any difference anyway.
    I found it was a classic example of "yes minister" where the staff of the ministry dept. managed to push their agenda onto a govt who were willing to barge it through care of their hit man Trevor Mallard. managed to keep our school but closed down 5 out of 8 schools and merged them.
    So no I doubt they have common courtesy and do not trust them to do what's right.

    I'm keen to go along and throw my thoughts in the mix.
    A concern is that for the Auckland region to have only one session is asking for trouble. Ie Timaru has one the same time length - 30k vers 1.5m people. Just doesn't seem right.
    I might ask if Paula B is going to it........
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    Maybe they should put it out the wider audience then, possibly by use of that little thing that just about everyone has access too, the internet. Rather than holding meetings at times and places that restrict input

    its not just in the health industry, the same thing is happening in the trades.
    we have excuses for apprentices that think they know it all and have been brainwashed to think they can choose what to do. ive had them refuse to go into a roofs pace because of spiders! ask for safety equipment such as charcoal filtered fans for a 1 minute soldering job because of "toxins".
    i was on a roof in the rain, asked the young fella to go grab more cable. 20 minutes later he's not back i find him in the van eating smoko because "it was 10 o'clock"
    and then we wonder why the hell we hire immigrants and import ready built product

    back to subject, i will be there in chch to listen to the BS slant on lawful shooters.
    hey kotuku hoped you enjoyed the disc
