Nah I can’t agree Pete. In my opinion there is always a responsibility with the seller, particularly in the case of items like guns.
No different to a liquor outlet selling to minors, or punters who are too pissed.
In a smallish place like Napier you can guarantee the GC staff new they were selling the same guns over and over to the same guys.
Cigar is dead right, we don’t know enough, and it may well be that GC red flagged it with the police. I sincerely hope so.
Because as we all can clearly see, these crims with firearms licenses are steadily eroding trust, and buggering it for all of us.
And if it wasn’t GC who potted them to the police, they need to pay a very heavy price.
