Thread: oh shit

Having been to jail for assaulting a dog ranger it's probably safe to assume he doesn't have a FAL.

Yes I'm sure you're spot on but I bet neither the press nor the police will make a definitive statement telling our loving public that the poor chap was illegally in possession of firearms WITHOUT a firearms licence,eh???? Which is why I have asked NZ First to "ask-the-question" & then it is in hansard & on the public record.

...and one doesn't find themselves in the slammer for 'assault' either. Would have been a fucken hammering.

Yeah but come on Danny. The poor chap landed on his head when he was: spat out of the womb eh & has had a deeply misunderstood youth until he found the salvation of growing and marketting electric puha. Ya gotta have some compassion eh????

Every time I see O'Connor or hear him it makes me think retroactive abortion might be a good idea. I wonder if the average bluebottle is happy with him being their mouth piece?

Yes I agree, BUT you have to feel sorry for the plonker 'cos " he doesn't know how crims get hold of illegal firearms,eh????" which was the start of the TV3 bullshit!!!!
GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

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.

Its too hard for them to do that much easier to pick a few names off a list (fal holders) and go visit them.

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.

The sad part is they probably right!! But I think if the police did a little better, seeing the solving burglary figures this week, then it just might help? Im not at a loss as to where the firearms are being sourced, illegally!!

A contributing factor to unsolved burgs is the fact that a lot of victims do not have accurately recorded serial number/identifiers etc on the items taken - unfortunately black flat screen TV is pretty generic and when a property is searched unless the items have been entered into the system prior to being found a lot of it cannot be returned.

Time delay is also important, unless its reported very soon (say 30 minutes max) after the event it is very hard to get a track away in an area with other members of the public around.

Offenders are very forensically savvy these days, gloves concealment etc not often fingerprints left to be taken.

There are firearms seized each day over the country, unfortunately or fortunately we live in a country where Police cannot just enter properties of interest and search them on a hunch.

When do they ever look for fingerprints in the first place to find out if any have or have not been left?

If there has been a confirmed burglary, all the time. There is a work group that does just that as a role, don't think or expect front line to do it as its not their job as first responders. .(all regions/centers would be the same I would think)
