Thread: Northland Shooting

What a fu_k_n joke....When the interviewer asks Chris Cahill what is legal and what is not and what should someone do when they hear "Automatic Weapon fire" (3:15sec) at rabbits is that legal....He misses that opportunity to ban machine guns (Already cannot be fired) and then goes on to state that "Normal person who has a shotgun or hunting rifle can only possess limited rifles, other people have specialist category licenses and they can have semi automatic weapons." (3:30sec) {Clearly not the case}

This is followed by "Tell us the kinds of illegal weapons coming into this country then" (4.50sec) and " Is the suggestion that he had grenades? Is that credible?" Cahill replies that he has not heard one way or the other "But the varieties of weapons coming into the country is very wide and a lot of these weapons are imported legally under special category licences, but it's when they are stolen from licensed owners that they end up in the hands of criminals, or people that aren't licensed. That's the real concern"" But the icing on the cake is he calls for an outright ban on Semi automatic weapons like Australia did after Port Arthur, then says at (6:57sec) "We're happy to listen to the other side of arguments around firearms but we want to be convinced that there is a need for them in New Zealand, I'm not so sure "

I call bullshit right there: He has never listened to reason before, what makes anyone believe he will now???????

The law in New Zealand does not REQUIRE a Need. And he openly admitted that in the hands of law abiding firearms owners there is not an issue.

The NZ police admitted that its officers dont have the resources to KNOW NZ law around firearms. Well this just got proven by their head of the Association also NOT KNOWING New Zealand firearms law......

For what its worth, the resources for Police to know the current law, is in my view, one thing that has to happen.
