Thread: Another Aramoana???

I see O'Connor and Gillespie (Waikato University fuckwit) http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/(agendae?) have been flapping their chops again, trying to demonise firearms and firearms owners. O'Connor wants to be a politician, God help us!! and Gillespie wants to think his opinion matters. Both are media whores who will give an opinion at the drop of a shutter button. But opinions are like arseholes - everyone has one, and my opinion of this pair is not fit for publication. Apropos of this, it seems the cops in the USA are killing a lot of people, mostly those of a darker complexion. And politicians are screaming "Gun Control!" Jeeeez I despair of this world, particularly our little part of it. Things like O'Connor and Gillespie should have compulsory muzzles. Fear-mongering shitheads that they are. And of course the media lap it up.

And they still don't realise they are talking about illegal firearms which are owned by criminals. So no matter what firearm regulations they change nothing will change in real life!

Easily the worst scare-mongering I've seen, absolutely shameful.

Now calling military styled weapons MACHINE GUNS. Occonnor can not understand why anyone would want or need to own one! On Larry Williams on radio while driving home

Why?

New Zealand has a long history of multiple shootings, often by licenced firearm owners.

Because none of what he suggests will actually stop a mass shooting and he is clearly using the idea of a mass killing to sell his crusade.

Fuck, how many threads on the same topic do we need?

I have one of these 'dumbf##ks' living in my house.
She tolerates my guns, because they keep me out of the house and out from under her feet.
We 'discuss' the registration of guns - mostly when these idiots appear on TV, spouting off as if every law-abiding gun owner is a potential murderer.
No-one in politics has the guts to legislate for more severe penalties when weapons - of any kind - are used in the commission of a crime, including personal violence against the person.
Like most 'knee jerk' legislation which has unforeseen consequences that requires more legislation to correct 'anomalies', that were unintended.
Our useless Press/TV have failed the communities by presenting biased/sensationalist news - not balanced, reasoned, RESEARCHED information.
Something that our politicians are also guilty of.

His crusade to make the people he represents (the members of his union) safer? Isn't that what union presidents do? Lobby for better conditions for their members?

Really? Like how many? Just counting civilians?

But again none of what he is asking for will help make his members safer. How many police officers have been attacked with a .50 calibre rifle? How will registering guns stop criminals from stealing guns and pointing them at police?

And compare that number to that of shooting involving illegal firearms... Ignoring the hunting not identifying your targets as they are a whole nother topic
