Thread: TV3 & Guncity mistake

well there goes the ability to purchase guns and ammo online! how stupid do you have to be TV3. throw the book at them. bloody fear mongering

I think we all should be having a talk to our MP's (I certainly will be) as prosecution should be pursued to the fullest extent. IMHO O'Connor is in this up to his neck and about time the gutless bugger was called. Rank and file Plods have enough to deal with without having to put up with crap arising from his future political aspirations (which I'd say is behind this).

If criminals weren't thinking of it they will be now.

Perhaps we should submit broadcasting standards complaints?

Don't know how that double post happened!

It will be interesting to see what happens on TV3 @ 7pm tonight. Given that the police are currently investigating them (TV3) they may pull the story.
I guess its all about the ratings though
.

...Oh I hope she gets prosecuted !
No bullshit such as "done in the interest of public safety..." super idiot!

Also. Courier post have a no guns policy.

Only for Joe Blow on the street. They happily ship from dealers. I had them tell me they would no carry one while talking to them on the phone while their van driver was unloading 24 rifles for us from a wholesaler........(to a gun shop no less)

And they deliver this to me too.... Guess what was in it.....



Well packed, what with it being wrapped in a towel and brown tape.......

Really not hard nor a bad idea for people to have to verify the form is legit

Cant believe that gun city didn't check the fire arms number.
Crazy.

AFAIK, they do not have access to a database to check against, nor do they, or anyone else have to check.

After hearing the report on TV, Gun City, and everyone else that has ever used a Firearms Mail order form is in the clear and innocent.

Hmmmm, interesting comments, no doubt it's going to open some eyes up to a potential loop hole.
I would really like to see an online registration check on licence numbers that shops and or the public can use, kind of how the police have the rego check on their website, that way it can done at the time and either tell you valid or not.

This could curb those who have had their licence revoked and failed to surrender their actual licence meaning they could potentially still purchase.

However this rolls out, I'm just happy they chose GC to fuck it up.

I hope she gets prosecuted. If they forged the police use only part of the form they should have the book thrown at them.
NZ media tries to shape opinion rather than report facts most of the time.

the idea is great dirty, your interpretation of it is shit. Thanks for the comment,
The police rego check in their website gives absolutely no information of the address or phone numbers or etc, it either tells you that rego is either stolen or not, an adaptation of this with the FLIC number could potentially tell you VAILD or INVAILD, in essence it can also be run by the police porting the information of the licence status the same way they do regos.
