AMMUNITION PROHIBITIONS & Boycott:

Charles Cunningham BOYCOTT bought a Commission into the British Army for 450 Pounds aged 18 in 1850 and served for a short time in Ireland before "retiring" and becoming a farmer and then later a 'land agent' for absentee landowner Lord Erne in the West of Ireland.

Boycott's (Erne's) tenants came into dispute over rent payments following failed crops in 1880 - and organized a total withdrawal of labor and services against Boycott when he started to evict them - isolating him within the community .. refusing to harvest his crops and stopped the local shops from serving his needs.

Fifty Protestant Orangemen from the North volunteered in an armed military expedition, guarded by a regiment of the 19th Royal Hussars and over 1,000 Royal Irish Constables & traveled by train to harvest some 500 pounds worth of crops at a cost exceeding 10,000 pounds.

Boycott permanently left Mayo and Ireland before Christmas 1880 in a storm of newspaper publicity - no driver could be found to drive his carriage so his family and a local magistrate left for England in an army ambulance .. and his name BOYCOTT was chosen by a Father John O'Malley to replace "OSTRACISM" and became coined as a word to mean "taboo, intimidate, isolate, excommunicate" and to refuse to co-operate.

My guess is that by now most fee paying New Zealand Licensed Firearms users & collectors are now made into criminals.
