    Our website is updated as regularly as facebook.

    Would you be interested in an email alert every time we post something on our website?

    Personally I'd find that annoying.

    Thanks Jexla. I don't subscribe to website often but this is important so it's in.

    I don't bf, or rss so some sort of subscribe suits me well. I run a blog or two and it seems to be the preferred method on them as well.

    Honestly we've not yet considered a twitter account as we've just set up on another forum and our website. Twitter isn't something I am personally familiar with so would require some learning on my behalf, but maybe that's something I can look into during my uni holidays in a few weeks.

    We're currently considering what different legal entities would could morph into so we can take donations to help the cause and to use for things like sponsorship of events etc. We'd love to get merch such as tshirts, hats etc going. We're considering trying to get someone to put forward the money before that happens to get a bunch of artwork done for when that does happen and so we can get a new logo and have artwork for the website etc.

    Thank you for your support, please sign up for our email alerts. If the emails get annoying from getting one for every new post, please just reply to one of the emails and let us know and we can opt you out of receiving them and leave you subscribed to emails we manually send that we consider to be important and less annoying.

    I guess you could probably set up a weekly or monthly summary email option too? Depending how much effort that involves.

    With the current system there's no way to automate that, it'd have to be manual and there's no way I'm doing that, especially with only a few signed up so far!

    If the police are acting illegally then logically they can be prosecuted for said illegal actions? and if so why are the people at the head of the changes not finding themselves in prison? Who would prosecute them?

    As we've reported on before, Nick Taylor is starting legal litigation with police soon and asked people to donate towards that fund if they could, however legal litigation is only one method of fighting this. Like we saw with the pistol grip saga, the police lost and then went crying to the politicians and got what they described as a "loophole" patched. We've seen great success with the use of social media, and we will continue with that, but to be most effective we must expand our social media reach multitudes of where we're at now, as well as use other methods, many which require funding.


    As with all government departments, single people don't get prosecuted, the whole department does.

    Indeed. I also suggested to the minister in my letter that; if whomever is making these decisions has that little regard for the law they are supposed to uphold that perhaps she should seek their resignation as they would no longer be fit for the job they are tasked with......

    I agree to a point. Fact of the matter is we have less than 8k likes on facebook, and there's plenty of NZ shooting themed pages who are in the 10's of thousands.

    There's over 240k licensed firearm owners, there's far more than 8k of them on facebook, without a doubt.

    For those who are not on social media, we have our website with email alerts and we are active on another forum, we're yet to be offered a home here.
