Greg O,C going on about too many firearms, just so happens more and more law abiding citizens are getting into hunting and shooting sports so DUH of course they will be buying a firearm or two with there new licence. Go after the gangs and crims guns and leave us law abiding VOTERS alone.
I'm not as paranoid as others are, nor am I always looking for a conspiracy connection every 5 minutes to events.
I tend to stop, look, think objectively. I don't think society is going to go down the shitter, with rampaging mobs on the streets and Police randomly arresting people then beating a confession out of them, with guerrilla fighters blowing up Police cars and trying to secure "freedom".
There are far more anti-firearm people than pro. If any of the antis read some of the comments in this tread they truly would think that we are blood thirsty, irrational and bananas.
I hope all the officers are OK and recover well.
I hope the shooter gets the help he obviously needs.
I hope this incident doesn't negativity impact us licence holding, responsible, firearm owners
In that order.
My two cents worth.
Well it looks like you need a spokes person/organisation.
If you all paid a fee to said person/organisation then you could at least get on top of this.
You have slow firearms renewal!
Press persecution!
No parliament support!
You all spent a lot of your hard earned money, and every time someone loses it you get slammed.
So what would be a resonable sum per annum?
$80.00?
This is what I pay, taken out each month! Never miss it ok it's in pounds.
They have a media center to get straight in on shit like this to stop the knee jerk reactions!
They have a list of every standing politician, as well any runner, so you can write them and find out which way they stand. If there not for you the you don't vote for them. Yes it dose have an impact the politicians hate loss in those votes.
Here's the link!

Here we have a couple like this one.
But I think NZ is to small and one should cover it.
It would give you a voice that would be unified!
Oh and they are elected by you!
I can for see if you don't then your going to lose what you have. It happen in Aussey after Port Arthur, it happened in the UK after Hungerford, Dunblane!
And yes I am sure the the likes of SAFE read this blog!
Guys this is the modern world you need to get on top of it or it's going to come to you very fast
So again who would pay to keep your sport safe and not lose your privileges?
Guys, guys, guys! Before you reply to threads like this, just stop and think who might be reading these posts! H.du PA? We don't do ourselves any favours with comments like I have been reading on this scenario. A couple of comments though: firstly, St. John staff have a special team that works with Police SAR and AOS, called SERT (Special Emergency Response Team - I helped to train the inaugural team in Auckland. They are up to it. Secondly, how did highly trained AOS staff put themselves in the position of getting shot by a shotgun? How did that happen, specially after he Molenaar incident in Napier? And Greg O'Connor is banging on again about how crims get firearms? Really, Greg? Perhaps this offender has a F/a licence and a legit. firearm. Did you check Greg?. I guess this offender is fortunate that he doesn't reside in the USA. An offender there recently shot 2 Highway Patrol officers in the head after a routine traffic stop and fled. He was cornered by the local Police, and a gunfight ensued. He died. A TV reporter asked the local sheriff: " Sheriff, why were there 18 bullets found in this man's body?" The sheriff answered: "Well, that's all the ammunition we had available at that time".
