RIP Mike. May you watch our collective efforts as gun owners, from above, to rid NZ of this government and restore firearm administration to where it belongs.

From above, but at waist height.

RIP Mike

some of the stuff he found out about was unbelievable if it didn't come from an OIA. A good advocate and bloke gone far too soon

@40mm I'll let you know

Ffs , a legend to us all.

Someone that was physically incapable of standing on his own two feet, did more to advance our firearm rights than some of us who sat on their arses and did nothing.

I didn't always agree with his manner but I always agreed with his message.
A true champion for liberty.

RIP

Yes, to the point. I suggested Mike he toned down the language as it might be counterproductive, but he was very deliberate about it though and explained he set the tone like that or the message would not get enough attention. He used comedy and sarcasm very effectively.

Thanks for explaining.
I'm not going to argue with his technique, compared to him I did sweet FA. Maybe I should have donated to Mike instead of the fair and reasonable campaign...

There is some truth in that. Too much of being nice and expecting people to be reasonable in return. Many of our beloved politician faces are never going to see reason which leaves one option, vote them out. But that's neither kind or nice.

Sad to hear. Gone far to soon.
R.I.P Mike

We need both approaches Cordite - some to be polite, and some to be a bit more in your face. You'd be surprised by the amount of work that continues to be put into having civilized conversations with politicians, police etc.

People seem to think guys like Mike and some of the "be nice" group don't talk to each other

One of many great lines "I could teach this to a police dog using biscuits"
He took the time to have a call with me before the select committee hearings and give me some advice on how they work and how to present your submission.

Not 100% sure he took his own advice though

Thanks Mike, hot barrels
