    I believe that it's time to start to organise a boycott of any businesses that think they are going to profit from any hidden agendas that are being pushed by the SC..
    How should this be done and how can a list of these people and the companies be published without running foul of 'boards.ie/shooting'

    Why do you want to boycott them and the companies?

    Within reason the first thing that needs to happen is a name and shame. List the organisation and members that are making these decisions that are going to crucify us.

    With full facts out there then you as an individual can make your own minds up.

    I don't think press ganging people into a specific action is required.

    The Sports Coalition have clearly named individuals and Organisations. The ICTSA are a clear example. At least 70% of their members are also hunters yet nothing has been said. That's because the ICTSA members who are hunters won't push it..and therefore in there eyes there is no problem.

    NARGC were part of the Sports Coalition until the issues arising was brought to the Chairman's attention and then the GB said pull out.

    Now, the remaining 99.99% of gun dealers who are not in the Sports Coalition of vested interests have set up their own body and are seeking representation.

    The Sports Coalition has ceased to exist it's dead......it's just nobody in there has seen the writing on the wall

    I'm sticking this up as a precursor to any possible remarks that will land us in hot water. If i've quoted your post it's not because i'm directing it at you, but simply because you've raised the points i want to address.

    If you name the person please provide a link with irrefutable "proof" that the person is involved with not only the SC, but the proposals.

    As for shaming, lets leave any remarks designed to shame aside for the time being. Being named is enough for the moment.

    I say this for one simple reason. Tempers can flare and comments can be made that seem innocent enough, but end up the central point of a defamatory case. Such comments will be removed, but if any "make it through", well we all know about a similar Facebook case and the outcome.

    So even if you can afford the court case Boards.ie will not allow it to get that far.

    We want this topic raised and discussed but one simple moment of anger and the thread will get closed down and/or removed. Then we have nothing.

    Set up their own body.

    There was an RFD body already in place before the inception of the SC. The SC split this group (however small that split was it happened) and those that remained outside the SC, which counted for the majority, still have that group afaik.

    That's not something we can do, the Minister runs the FCP and the invites are within her aegis. The Firearms Unit PO could do it acting in her stead, but I don't think she'd do that without discussing it with the Minister first. Other bodies could petition the PO to do so, I suppose, but that's a scary precedent...

    Exactly!!

    This is the point:

    Go on to the SC website and see the Association that make up its members..

    If you are a member of any of these Associations the FFS get in contact and ask them what the actual F'#k is going on..
    Simples..

    I see what your saying But let us surmise for a moment, if the Sports Coalition doesn't represent anyone, and its proven that some of the organisations in there are phantoms.
    Sure to God they have no mandate to be their and they are damaged goods and potentially a threat to the Ministers reputation.
