    we wouldn't want guns to be seen as useful on a nationally broadcast program at prime time now would we

    lets just keep reminding everyone about the christchurch tragedy while confiscating guns and hemorrhaging NZ money

    All that is rather crazy in so many ways...

    One thing I have never really understood even though I have been following this issue for quite a while: Yes, bulls are not being targeted. But I would imagine females have no chance to escape in most cases as there is too little cover. Is that true? If yes, does it mean total eradication of females in the given areas? Or are some mobs of tahr being skipped or something? Might be naive but I'm wondering.

    I haven't shot from a chopper but I expect they can hide and scatter and the chopper cant follow them all. Many animals are near scrub or tussock, not out on open rock or snow.

    Public now know that guns are extremely scary and the mere sight of one will be enough for Tahr to have died of fright.

    What a shame.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Maybe but maybe not,could be old footage of the late Paul Hondy he favoured a shot gun with buck shot.

    I wonder what the cost to the tax payer has been so far.
    GUN CONTROL IS A TIGHT 5-SHOT GROUP.
