    The anti gun lobby

    Is see that the anti gun lobby is at it again after the incedents during the duck shooting opening weekend. The idiots that are involved are just giving them more ammo to give the resposible firearms owners a bad name and make gun ownership harder. When are people going to wake up.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Anti gun lobby is like anti gay marriage protestors. If you don't like it don't buy a gun or marry a gay person, that'll show em haha

    I wonder how well a journalist would do in his or her trade by thoroughly researching and then printing the truth. As a group they need a massive kick up the arse and as an individual the one that wrote this dribble deserves an E minus. Oh and just a point because it annoys the fuck out of me - if there are 1.1 million guns in New Zealand I wonder how many fire arms there are as I have one gun and seven rifles making a total of eight firearms. Dickheads.

    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

    Not really sure why some of you guys are getting your nickers in a knot about those 2 articles. I've read them both, and neither of them stood out as particularly bad...

    It has always amazed me that you can simply walk into the bush and hand your buddy (who does not have a license) a firearm. We all know that "supervision" in the bush or maimai is not the same thing as supervision by a RO on a range...

    Also, as in previous threads of this nature, keep in mind that there are more people out there that are either indifferent or opposed to firearms. Firearms owners make up a tiny fraction of the population(and that is A, when it gets to B or E it is ridiculously small percentage). We need to convince them that it is ok, not the other way round.

    When you want to despair of the intelligence of your fellow NZers, no need to go as far as WhaleOil or the Kiwiblog troll farm, just read a few Stuff comments - that'll do the trick

    These people are just making noise. Close to 1/4 million licensed shooters, 19 deaths in 10 years - what's the drama? That's fuck all. They could at least have the common decency to tell the truth - we hate everything about you and your sport, so we will use any pathetic excuse to put the boot in.

    The trouble is that this drivel forms public perception....like "no checks should be every 5 years", when in fact we have 10. No balance to pieces....also "unlimited guns", well bugger me but all these incidents happen with a single firearm, the quantity simply doesnt matter. And this is a researcher? absolute rubbish.
