Thread: TV3 & Guncity mistake

aint this ironic the cops cant solve burglerys including the theft of 136 guns fom one collector alone and when these guns finally appear in the hands they were stolen for everybody jumps up and down and blames every gunowner?

just a tip for you crusher get your officers you were so worried about getting shot to find the guns when they,re stolen??
step 2 give them enough training so that they can handle whats expected of them firearms wise before the aos turns up or you have call the ats.
why do i have this horrible feeling that the cop with the hand shooting injuryof the four shot was self inflicted????

Waikato University professor Alexander Gillespie said there needs to be discussion about what firepower is lawful and where guns are sourced.

"Governments tend to wait until an atrocity occurs or a massacre and then they legislate afterwards.

"It is very rare they're pre-emptive or do something in a precautionary manner, even thought, in my opinion, that it is foreseeable that unless we get in control of this problem something bad will happen"

Gillespie said a starting point would be tracking down the 100,000 guns that aren't with their original purchaser - having been passed on to a friend or family member.

He said of the one million guns in circulation in New Zealand, around 100,000 of them aren't with their licensed owner.

"You're grandather had a gun, it went to his daughter, it ended up in the cupboard in the house and so on and so forth. You need to get these firearms off the street. You need to get them out of the houses. You need to have a public by back, where a lot of these old guns can be brought in, no questions asked".

Gillespie said around 25,000 of the "missing " guns end up with criminals.

apart from his bullshit figures bullshit cos the cops have no idea of the numbers so how could he?
theres some sence in his arguement
