That would make the owners bunghole pucker a bit
I think what TV3 did was supply a fake FAL number on the online purchase form.
So I guess TV3 may have also committed fraud.
Yes I thought this was what they were on about. On tv3 story show tonight.
Listening to Duncan Garner on way home tonight he said they only supplied a Fake Name and Firearms Licence Number.Quote:

However I was under the impression they should / would have to have also supplied a completed mail order for which should have officers name, Station QID and signature stating they have sighted their (purchaser licence)
http://www.guncity.com/?syscmd=dl&ID...958F1B32FCC026 as an example
Soooooooooo while its bad enough they got the gun if they filled in the form and forged the Police details I hope they (TV3) get book thrown at them too
I do know with arms act, Its up to FAL holder to prove their innocence rather than police their guilt.
Yes but the legislation says it's an offence to supply a firearm or ammunition without the police mail order form being sighted.Quote:

Dont know if we have got all the facts on this yet
My exact thoughts, I hope Gun city gets in trouble if they are at fault.Quote:

Looks like they faked the lot
Except a legitimate FAL number, all other details being boogie
Hey Tommy is that the online form TV3 submitted to Guncity
Interesting. Will be watching this. Because TV3 won't tell us of this loop-hole as they put it, we will never know.
AFAIK, Gun City either sent without sighting the forms/accepting the forms incomplete or TV3 falsified information on the form- both FAL number and Police details.
The reason for the mail-order form is to verify, via the police, that the buyer is licensed.
If TV3 falsified the documents including the police signature, Gun City is not to know any different and the system obviously needs to be revised. Tv3 should also face a penalty. If Gun City accepted an incomplete form, then they should skate for it.
They usually have a stamp too near the police use only section at the bottom?
There has been lots of slander towards firearm owners in the media lately, looks like a useless reporter wants an easy promotion. Hope he gets promoted to prison for forging shit.
Yep, it's on Whaleoil #dirtymedia Mediaworks programme Story breaks multiple laws to illegally obtain an firearmQuote:

Not a good look for them at all
That's a good read @Tommy. So if the stamp is needed and was not there, Gun City takes a hit. Either way, an example should be made of TV3. There is no loop-hole, only crime.
I would say the loop hole is that you don't have to cheek the form at the police to ensure its legit.
I have 4 times now and been told every time i don't have to get it cheeked as the police sighted his licence and signed
my reply being how do i know they didn't sign the police part.
The police officer signing it normally stamps it as well, fault on both sides
this stunt was done once before by MSM with a underage purchase of an air rifle by a well known actor (one Tim balme)with teenage stooge (the purchaser) ,the shit hit the fan when a scungy wee female photographer from the same rag was spotted lurking in bushes near the scene of the crime.
if these fucktards resort to such extreme lengths to get ratings then they deserve all they get.
HDPA should be made kim kardashians bitch and GO'C should be Craig Jouberts ball boy !
DG should be chained to a milking shed fence and sprayed with cowshit as hes another shithead!
personally a very upfront conversation will be taking place between myself and a very high up person in TV3 in the very near future the precise axis being does he she sanction such shit and if so why .
in fact id suspect my brother may well also indulge in such a conversation!
next thing it ill be like oz where all gun transfers have to be done via a dealer
If they forged the mail order form to illegally take possession of a firearm I want to see them charged.
if this is how low they MSM will stoop with gullible advice from nzs police No1 union man then it says a bloody lot about honesty . can we in reply have 12 licensed FAL to compose the jury????
This was done through a dealer.Quote:

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.
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.
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.
Publically available info like address, phone number etc...?Quote:

As in a criminal shopping list? Pretty shit idea to be fair mate
They just said the system will change to where the current on line form will be sent to the gun store / firearm holder by the police after the firearms licence is sighted and confirmed by them.
Make sense since you need to visit them any ways.
