Re: Time to Push Your Association
Peter, I'm pleased to update you on that score. In 2014 the UFF mandated me (representing GOSA) to form the Sport-shooting Forum. This was done specifically to pave the way for us to tackle the proposed Amendment Act. We frantically hacked together the skeleton of an organisation so that, as Parliamentary Firearms Summit was announced in January 2015, the Sport-shooting forum was able, alongside the Hunters Forum, and all the usual suspects, to fill the parliamentary chamber with 28 representatives from across the entire firearms community. I'm surprised you missed all of this.

Re: Time to Push Your Association
I didn't miss it Paul, but was talking about what happened 9 years ago. I agree that you all did a sterling job in 2015. However, what is needed is not just a Sports shooting forum and a Hunters' forum and the "usual suspects". What we need is a permanent cooperative association of ALL bodies concerned to maintain firearm ownership and use in SA for any and all legal purposes.

Re: Time to Push Your Association
It is now the time for all our associations to come together and present a united front and push as best we can to get the many issues sorted, including the legislation and the role CFR plays in this.

Re: Time to Push Your Association
The idea has been proposed before and was shot down. Other than it pissing some people off, it doesn't necessarily fall in line with Section 18 of the Bill of Rights, or Section 13 of the Consumer Protection Act.
