I thought the IRA were 1) pretty much ceasefired now, and 2) in FUCKING IRELAND!!

As far as I am aware, the 338 wielding IRA are not currently, or in the foreseeable future, operating in NZ. Problem avoided.

I suppose we should be concerned about folks that have diesel, superphosphate and aluminium sawdust as well - I mean, there was some pretty nasty stuff done with that in N Ireland, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq....

The real answer is for people in a country to not feel like this sort of BS is an answer to what troubles them.

Simple solution... A multiple choice firearms knowledge test for all prospective select committee members. You can only be on the committee if you really know your subject matter.


Actually, 3 waters, wetlands, biodiversity, infrastructure, benefits, carbon... I may be onto a good thing here!
