Thread: Northland Shooting

Not good, not good at all, thoughts go out to the families.

Not sure if anyone knew the guy, but by the sounds of it seems like he was a bit unstable.

Any man or woman for that matter can crack given the right circumstances, and there will always be the outliers but reckon as shooters we need to do more to ensure we and the people we surround ourselves with while enjoying the activity we all love are actually fit and proper even if the police believe they are.

This might ruffle some feathers, it'd be fine with me if we had to go through some form of a mental health check every few years to ensure beyond unreasonable doubt that I, you, we are stable enough to hold a firearms licence.
I'd rather do this than see the sport I love be eroded anymore largely because people are too pig headed to talk to an expert about the demons in their head.
