Thread: A Letter from COLFO

That's quite an interesting point @ebf. I wonder how many licenced firearms owners are individually active responding to police consultation, ministry of education consultation, the current police roadshow in numerous towns in New Zealand. Auckland had 40ish people attend. There are far more than 40 firearms owners in Auckland. Was it apathy?

Being a member of a club is a good thing in my view, or an association aligned to whatever your gun hobby is. Numbers are good. Critical mass is neccessary. So is representation.

I also think how much anyone sees also depends on what media you're on. Eg colfo have been on breakfast show, Mike Loder on radio NZ, Gun City on breakfast, so a lot of people are doing their bit but it's not always visible.

What about firearms events? Take the shot expo for example, major event, some deals to be had, good day out etc. But I noticed there were a few negative comments on social media about the event... Ticket costs, a few other gripes. Personally, I'm glad New Zealand had such a large scale event where thousands of like minded people got to go and touch, hold, ask, talk smack etc with industry, clubs and associations. Overall positive... Just not to some who will possibly always have a negative bias.

I think anyone ponying up and supporting any cause to do with firearms is a great thing and we need more of it.
