I thought it was quite ironic that the very next video to appear in my YouTube feed after watching this was one from Russell Coight.

Mike had a tendency to stray and never really properly answered quite a few questions. He has a reputation for that. What I did like though was his encouraging the participation of young people in firearms sports and the mention of NCEA qualification credits. He seemed genuine and I sincerely hope those comments were not just platitudes. When asked if he had anything else to add at the end of the interview I thought it would have been useful for him to mention that FAL holders needed to make a no arms declaration if they do not have any firearms. As far as the rhetoric around the “if the law changes then we will adapt” comment is concerned, I realise he was representing the FSA and they are likely to come under Justice but Mike is embedded Police and I neither trust him nor his PNHQ overlords to provide impartial administration..

McIllwraith is not a person whose word I would ever trust. The smile on the face of the tiger......

Amen to the last couple of lines!

Just watched this video, can't see anything wrong with contents. I'm not registered, will do so if I have a trigger event or otherwise have to. Having interacted with FSA a few times getting questions answered or guidance where to find relevant legislation info I can only say they have been prompt and courteous in providing answers. Mc Illwraith I have only met once and he seemed ok to me. Sure he's Police so maybe about as trustworthy as most politicians, but hey I've been disappointed by supposed friends before.
I don't agree with what's gone down since Ch-Ch and the gun registry but some of the tinfoil hat brigade on here need to take their hats off and get omore.out and about more.

Back in 2016 or thereabouts I met Mike McIlwraith at a meeting. His words to us back then were I have been given the Firearms Portfolio and been told to fix it. Had Chch not happened it would have been very interesting to see how that played out.

The man who destroyed the Mountain Safety Council Firearms Volunteer Instructors system.

He lied then and he lies now.

In watching this I see a lot of effort being put into micromanaging FAL holders. Since they're so worried about public safety, have they considered fighting crime?

I was disappointed……..I thought they were going to discuss the Alpha carbines?

No, Mike was busy acting like 25% of the 20% of FAL holders registering voluntarily is a success. Otherwise known as 5% of FAL holders. Way to go Mike, you champ.

On that note don't anyone be fooled by them they can't be trusted...... I may share more details once I have finished dealing with them (FSA) suffice to say their attitude is pretty much do as we say or your licence will be revoked
