I have no issues with reminding people of their obligations , don't get me wrong , but these guys don't seem to operate on a single level nowadays . There almost always seems to be a deeper meaning/reason for bringing things into the public eye .
And it generally seems to be to gun owners detriment .... and making it that much more difficult to comply with new laws to point I am sure they are just trying to make the whole gun ownership thing more difficult than it has ever been simply to put people off ownership due to expense and or the amount of hoop jumping etc required .
But hey , that's just my opinion in general terms .
I could be way off base , but I don't think so.....

Spot on! Instilling fear, keeping it bubbling, wonder what else they are going to inflict on us?
COLFO should do the same for the police? Run an ad reminding them about random shooting in the station, storing and giving loaded firearms back, not securing firearms, leaving them in toilets and ranges, losing them on the roadside, not securing and having them stolen from stations, shooting themselves with pistols, not to do dodgy deals and inside sales, to follow the correct procedures when giving firearms licences.........maybe all police should have to sit FALs before being able to use.
