Well I, for one, feel totally assured
as I sit here with the cold shiver of déjà vu running down my back. Behind closed door meetings with selected "stakeholders" (funny how the SSAA and a select few others, including the Govt at both levels, are now stakeholders and the rest are just representatives) was the tactic of choice used by the Howard/Liberal Govt back in '96 to divide and conquer.
The dialogue was positive and we are currently working on a preliminary submission addressing a number of concerns regarding the NFA, in the scope of what is being considered.
So 'Master SSAA, sir, when do we lowly shooter-folk peasants get to know the details of what is being considered, or do we have to wait until these considerations are passed into law before we find out.'
In the meantime, we encourage you to continue writing to your local member to make sure our cause is being heard.
Yep, that totally makes me assured that the outcome of your little closed door meeting is going in our favor, NOT!
And now I'll finish this little rant with a couple of words,
