Thread: Call to Arms

I agree good result all things considered and how it could have gone.

The committee got a real slapping. Looks like the government is realizing the number of votes walking away. Now to give the nz police an equal slapping over their antics.

Yes, excellent result.

I'd be interested to know what number are air rifles or toys. Also glaringly conspicuous by its absence in this press release is the word "semi-automatic".

Id be more interested to know how the lying bullshit artist cahill, thinks that placing restrictions on the law abiding will magically stop criminals form having firearms.

We know he just makes shit up, wouldnt surprise me if those numbers were too.

Well that part's easy. He doesn't have to because crime reduction is not the purpose of this whole palava - it's only being window dressed as such. It's simply about control. Meth is a far more serious problem in this country and causes infinitely more societal and structural damage than illegal firearms, the latter tending to be readily associated with the former.

Yep, one said something like 'an air rifle and a snub nosed pistol was stolen from a car'. That sings of airsoft all day long..

Probably was a cap gun from the $2 shop.

From the Police Association's media release: “The Minister’s concern about ‘over the top’ rules and restrictions on hunters and shooters ignores the reality that New Zealand is awash with firearms and the majority of them are stolen,” he said.

Mr Cahill should be freaking fired for what is an absurd blatant lie. Majority of firearms are stolen!? Wtf man.

And as for calling us out saying: “Minister Bennett appears to have bowed to the pressure of the gun lobby which we believe represents fewer than 10,000 of the 240,000 licensed gun owners.

Bullshit You wish it was that low but I bet you my socks it is much, much higher then you have fabricated you absolute fruitcake.

I think he just got fired from the firearms group today?

I thought they didn't want a register? Only to 'record' the details upon licence renewal or security inspection. ...

Apparently, those of us who submitted objections to the Select Committee report are the NRA style gun lobby, and not 'good gun owners'.

Was pissed off the other day- received a camera van fine for doing an outrageous 56km/hr!!
You'll NEVER convince me this is anything but revenue gathering.
