Urgent - Your Action is Needed Now! 30 March, 2012
Dear fellow IPSC shooters and friends,
As many of you have heard already, IPSC shooting (in fact all Dynamic shooting disciplines) are about to be prohibited in the Netherlands!
This new law will be voted on in a matter of weeks, and if it passes – will mean the end of our sport in Holland, and who knows – this decision may well spread quickly across the EU.
As you can imagine, the NPSA (the Dutch IPSC organization) is mobilizing every possible resource to fight this unjust proposed law, but it is a desperate battle. The odds are stacked against us.
We need your help!
There is a petition being signed (online) which will be submitted along with other material as we try to make our case for our sport.
You can help by going online and signing this petition. The more signatures we have, the better.
Please also take a moment to forward this email to anyone you can think of who could generate more signatures, your shooting range, your club, your federation, your local gunsmiths who may be able to send it on to their mailing list. Post it online on any website you have access to.
We want to show that IPSC is a serious sport, with thousands of participants worldwide.
Please take a minute to log onto this site:

Scroll down, where it says “Ik” – you fill in your name
- Where it says ”wonende te” you fill in your city and country.
- Tick the checkbox if you want to allow your name to be shown on the list.
- Enter your email address
- And click the yellow box “ondertekenen” to sign the petition.
Many thanks for your participation in our fight.
Best Regards,

Tell the Minister of Justice that Adolf Hitler would be proud of him.
Tell him that anyone who believes in staying free instead of becoming slaves will condemn him.
Tell him that no one will believe he has forgotten the lessons the NAZI's taught the free world, but it appears he has embraced the NAZI's behavior.

Solus you took the words right out of my mouth!
and the bad is he (minister) is member of the liberal party in the netherlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kid, the link for English just eventually takes you back to the same petition in Dutch. SO what is asked for each of the three lines at the bottom of the petition so we can sign it?
Thanks,
-
It's name, where you're from, and email address.
-
There is what appears to be a Permission check box.
What is that about?
-
if you activate the permission box you allow your name and city and response publik.
Hazcat, Jumbo, Solus,
thanks.

Got a reply from Ocin:
"Things are quite ok for me at the moiment, thanks for asking. Hopefully things have gone better for you as well as of late?
About the ISPC ban: I heard about it but not about the on line petition, thanks for the heads up!
Though, I doubt it will do any good Sad"

If you fight you can lose, if you dont fight you'r lost
update,
It seems the minister is withdrawing the ban ( seems he can't get a majority in the second chamber)
Maybe we won a battle, but the war stil on.
Dont hesitate to SIGN the petition!!
The Chihuahua Kid.
Happy Shooting.
-
That is great news.
I do hope all the international support might have made a few politicians decide not to back the ban.
Great work and keep at it..
Take care.

(the goverment is not to be trusted they try to find other ways to unarm the shooters)
-
Now, how about that!! :D :D :D :D

Well ain't that some s#!t... Someone give that man a gun-oh wait that would probably be illegal since he didn't go through a background check to be a politician. ;D
