    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

    Well, we all know we need a backup truck just incase we lose the first one in a drone strike at McDonalds. Makes sense to me.

    If not, there are several on this forum that have - I don't see what grounds you have to criticise equipment or methods if you've never been in a position to experience why these are necessary. Remember that these are people who are prepared, should the need arise, to do violence on your behalf... if they can get there in time that is.

    From what I've read, nobody is attempting to glorify the killing of people. Ask anyone who has taken a life, unless they are a gangbanger, crack fiend, almost all will tell you that when it's done one feels sad and empty inside - it's not a good feeling. It is however interesting to read of other people's experiences in situations where violence is expected and often commonplace.

    There's stuff on here I don't like or find interesting, I generally don't comment on it or try tell them that their views are wrong - I move on.

    "Opinions are like arseholes..." If there was something sensitive or against the grain of the forum that the moderators took umbrage with, they'd moderate it.
    Have visited the States many times. Studied there. Uk. Europe.
    We have done our bit, and made our sacrifices. Father was awarded the Military Cross for bravery. That experience and what followed in the Pacific ruined his life and greatly affected mine. And prejudiced me against some of the stuff that's being talked about here. Those are my grounds to comment.
    I am not a combatant nor need to be, because I live in NZ. If called to, I'm too old now in any event. I have in the main dedicated my life to peace building, and that is my profession. I teach it, and do it.

    If peace is what you teach and value I commend you mate. But I have some bad news for you.
    The hatred for our way of life and its coupled violence, will most certainly hit our shores in our lifetime.

    Exactly, which makes the comments from O'connor about a mass killing in the future have a plausible ring about it. Not withstanding that his views about registration et al may be flawed.

    Got to agree with Tahr - this and the other forum are being quoted more and more frequently in news articles. Not that I don't think military firearms are awesome, but bringing unwanted attention by discussing American truck guns/body armour/what guns we carry to kill people is asking for us to be viewed even worse here.

    Much like when people put videos up of their dogs chewing the shit out of a pig instead of sticking it quickly. Just doesn't pay to bring that negative attention when already under scrutiny. Why make it easier for people to make the general public think we are nutters?

    Looks quite similar to what NZ Police have in their vehicles. ...
