    Anyone able to explain to me what a sight scope and a semi-automatic-style gun is?
    They obviously have no knowledge and are just repeating words they've heard and strung them together to sound good to uninformed ears. They are after sensation not a balanced report. Sensation sells. They have a bias towards making money so will not let the truth get in the way of a good story.

    I like the term assault style. I didn't know assault had a style. Is it in fashion to assault people?

    It's not the assault, it's assault with style that really pleases the judges

    no all wrong...
    It's an assault on STYLE that is what is all about. A bit like painting your Tikka T3 7-08 pink.

    My neighbour is a journalist for the local paper and by sheer chance he was discussing this bust with me over the weekend and it took some talking to convince him that the description of the firearms was slightly over the top. His wife was gobbing off about semi autos and how they should not be allowed and were not needed in NZ but she did put the brakes on when I said that I had one in the safe.

    After a bit more of a chat I worked out that she was talking about full autos so I then had to explain the subtle difference between them

    Why no charge for having a illegally modified firearm?

    No such thing. Modifying it is legal, but modifying it and it becoming illegal is unlawful possession.
