    Be interesting to make a complaint to the Broadcasting Standard(?) in that they haven't shown a fair and unbiased view. They neglected to say that they faked the details of a Police Officer to fool Guncity. They said they did not take the form to the Police this implies that the form was not filled in by Police and makes it seem that Guncity accepted a form that had not been authorised by Police. They also claim to have made up a firearms licence number. This implies they put down any old random number, how Guncity claims to have checked the number and it was valid, so they either know the system by how the Firearms numbers are generated or they actually used a real number.

    The BSA is a farce and a sick joke. Some associates and I have taken them to task over bullshit spread through TV news in past programs; (in those cases the issue was about misleading information which supported 1080 poison use) and after 6 months of correspondence going almost to the Courts, the BSA admitted that in law, the media journalists comments and news stories were only ever to be considered as "OPINIONS", and not to be taken as FACT. While we were on the point of taking NZBC to court over misinformation, as well as the perpetrators behind the misleading reports, the admissions by the BSA meant that any such court action would itself be farcical and a waste of the judiciary's time (and our funds) because NZ journalism does not have to represent facts, but only "journalists opinions".

    That the NZ Police or government departments, Ministers or other public servants can use the media to "inform" the public (you) via so-called "journalists' when these "non- accuracy rules" apply, is a disgrace and something the NZ public is largely unaware of and government should be ashamed of. Oh, I forgot, the government is run by politicians!
    Do journalists try to run politicians???

    i presume that imperonating a police officer is still an offence?
    did anyone note that when guncity rang twice a guy took the calls?
    if this was you or i we,d still be smarting from the shafting the old bill would be subjecting us to.
    done and signed.looks like quite a few yarpies might be in for some comeupppance quite soon
    what are the odds of her random licence number bieng real given she,d of have to known the licence prefix for a start then pick a random number.methinks thier pet licence holder may have more to do with this than meets the eye.
    john cambell is an example of what happens to good journo,s who embarass politicians to much so i guess that helped pull the others in line.

    Picking a random number that just happened to be real after all would have odds similar to Lotto methinks - well at least lower division odds.
