Thread: Some useful statistics from Nicole McKee

Taken from the heavily left leaning survey just released:

Nicole's words:

“The firearms registry can only work if everyone complies, including gang members and criminals. There is no chance of this happening,” she said.

She pointed to the 1997 Thorpe report, which recommended a registry, but with this qualification: “Unless a compliance rate of not less than 90 per cent can be achieved, the benefits derived from registration would be significantly reduced.There is also the issue of guns with no serial number; in the year to June, only 394 out of 1213 firearms seized by police from non-licensed people had serial numbers. Of the 18 pistols with serial numbers, one was reported stolen and 13 were not registered."

“The firearms registry would not have stopped any of the latest firearm incidents,” McKee said.

“If we had confidence that it would have, we would support it, but the evidence shows us it won’t work.”

The National Party supports the registry but only if it is “worth the required investment, sufficiently protected owners’ private information and was effective in limiting illegal guns in the community”. "

The registry does what it is supposed to do. Cost tremendous amounts of money, money which the government is obliged by the legislation to recover from fal owners, thus making fal ownership expensive and ultimately uneconomic for most of the general populace.

apart from that do not trust "surveys" you have not forged yourself...

And if you persist al the way to the bottom hidden in the babble there is thse two snppets...

"The survey - by Horizon Research and commissioned by Gun Control NZ -"

"The Horizon Research results are from an online survey of 1081 adults in New Zealand, conducted from July 19 to 24.? " meaning the 1081 GCNZ supporters were told to vote and no one else heard anything about it....

I suspect that the opinions re the register in this group is probably genuine...but I seriously doubt ANY of those muppets would vote for ACT....and considering it is one of ACTs foundation policies that they are making an election issue of, anyone who supports a register would not support ACT and anyone who supports act will not likely support the register....

Finnwolk, to me gun control is holding the firearm firmly with both hands...

Ya told me twice!
I agree though.

How could there possibly be 13 'unregistered' pistols floating around??

I thought all pistols had to be registered, proper safes, licence category, etc.

Something is seriously wrong here and there's only one reasonable explanation. Unlawful importations.

Excuse me, are you trying to say that along with shitloads of drugs and drug precursors that are brought into the country literally all the time, there may also be firearms being smuggled too?

Nonsense, it's obviously licensed firearm owners supplying all the guns!

Maybe cutdown firearms under 762mm are counted as "pistols"?

That would be my bet too.
Sawn off shoties etc being lumped into the pistol catagory.

pretty sure Mike Loder (RIP) proved that police count cut down guns as pistols. They technically are pistols according to the law but not pistols in the sense of a glock etc

I would like to see the list of 'pistols'. I had never thought of that from a statistical perspective.

might be a lot of 12 gauge 2" barreled pistols stuff shooting that

as well as a photo???? where did that wee gem come from????
