Thread: Anti-1080 protester has firearms licence revoked after delivering threatening letter

I do wonder though, would he of still had his license revoked if he was a PRO-1080 protestor?

No. Because we don't behave like that

At best, the guy is not helping his anti-1080 cause by looking so unkempt.

As for @systolic making comments about his "mental" brother in law, I imagine he just hasn't found a more appropriate adjective. When he finds the right one I'm sure he'll prefer it over "mental".

re the systolic matter ???two peas in a pod then i take it.I often get similar responses from both of you.

It is DOC, not Doc.

Let's not smear the medical profession and everyone with a PhD.

@kotuku,

Was going to reply, but you don't seem to tolerate responses too well.

I suppose it could be argued that it is a right only if you meet the criteria for the term, "fit and proper".

Correct. It was a measure put in place to prevent mentally-unstable/lunatics/gangs(?) from acquiring firearms. It's not bullet proof but the past few decades it has and still works effectively.

Prior to the "fit and proper" test a license was issued, prior to that you just had firearms at your will.

not quite,Permit to procure from sports shop round to constable Boyd,(mmm.I don't recall having any dealings with you)signature and stamp.back to Lathams and pay for rifle,carry to police station to register.
Constable Boyd,6 +foot sole charge Matamata cop,rifle across his desk as he enters serial number,"what do you see under the table boy?,"arr,your boots constable" "right,size twelve,if I have any trouble with you,one will be so far up your bum we'll use your spit to polish the toecap,got that"
that copper has kept me" fit and proper" for fifty odd years.

Havnt read the whole thread but if the antis wanted to make a really strong statement they could all band together and go out to where its been dropped and pick it,all up and take it back to where it came from

Well, this thread has been pretty predictable...

@Cordite, @Maca49, what would it take in terms of behavior from an anti-1080 person for you guys to stand up and say "oi, that's not acceptable, stop that !"

If someone threatens DOC staff, or police involved in keeping the protestors and workers apart, is that ok ?

If someone actually assaults DOC staff or police is that ok purely because they are fighting for a "noble cause" ?

Is willful damage to property (cutting fences, padlocks, damaging vehicles) ok ?

Not saying this person has done any if these, just trying to figure out what your threshold is .

I'm a mechanic, do WOF as part of the job. We have to have signs out front telling people that if they threaten staff, the police will be called. Imagine that: Bald tyres? tell the girl on the counter you're going to smash her if you don't get the sticker TODAY. Brakes fucked? Tell the dickhead under the car he's a dead man walking.

How do people arrive at these responses? Answer: a certain percentage of people in the general population are absolute cretins and belong in a cage.

I am so glad Auckland is all the way up there.

That is tantamount to a golden touchdown Tahr. Maximum points scored.
