    She did her job? I thought impersonating a police was a serious offence? Doesn't seem anybody cares. There's a difference between pointing out a " loop hole" and being a criminal on more than one level
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Doing the cleaning in front of our door step is not a bad thing.( revising ourselves any weakness in the system so that bad guys don't get their hand on our guns). But the media should do a bit the same with their shitty " un partial " news and reporters.

    And here is her latest attack on us. Apparently our firearm laws are on par with the US. Can you say scaremongering, alarmist lies?

    The way I see it, any potential flaw could have been pointed out with a simple story and discussion. But instead they chose to do something dramatic, to drum up ratings, to stir fear, to break the law and think that people won't bat an eyelid. This was just irresponsible behaviour through and through. Her logic that it's ok to break the law when you think you can advance a political agenda (and don't try and tell me that the MSM doesn't have one), just smacks of ignorance and pomposity. This is just an attack on gun ownership, she has shown her hand with the opinion piece in the Herald. For how many years have we been using the mail order system for firearm transfers? And how many crimes have occurred as a result of us being able to do so? If there is any justice in this country, everyone complicit will be charged as a regular citizen would for committing equal crimes.

    This was my response to his article:

    "Calm down Liberace, enough with the scare tactics and culture of fear. This is not the USA, and our record is better than that. Your baseless, bullshit article is neither addressing the cause of violent crime, or any of it's symptoms: you are targeting law abiding firearms owners. Any death that occurs as a result of a licensed individual is a result of failing to observe one of the 7 basic rules. Any death as a result of an un-licensed or criminal element is not the fault of those who are licensed (provided the 7 rules have been followed). More people are killed every year in drowning accidents: by your warped "logic" we should ban: swimming, boating, fishing, diving etc. Get out of town for a change instead of sitting behind a desk and spouting off rubbish on a topic you know nothing about!! This stuff gets media time? REALLY? Max Christoffersen - go back to your lattes and pink polo shirt collection."

    Wow. That will certainly enhance his and his supporters' views of our tolerant, issue focussed and balanced approach. Not.

As for stuff, there is a reason its names that- Stuff all fact checking, Stuff all truth, and Stuff you if you dont like all the fringe element reporters we found......

    There used to be an editor who would fact check before something goes to print- now Stuff just prints what it likes and if it is later found to be (woefully) inaccurate or wrong, they just change it after everyone has already taken the lies for truth. They dont even check the spelling and I have spotted some real primary school level shockers in there.
