I have just sent Gun City the names of ALL the people ( six of the hua's) who should be on his lawyer brother's list of candidates for a private prosecution

spot on me old china -get the whole internet and CHCH earthquake debris thrown at the pricks.

I cannot begin to say how fucking ridiculous that decision is. Frankly I despair for what has become of this country in the hands of overly politically corrected dickheads and do gooders. We may as well change the flag now because the current one stood for a far better country and a far better sense of justice than this country reflects today.

So, what would a prosecution have actually achieved for gun owners? Someone please explain?

Happy to. For me a simple sense of satisfaction that a smart arsed bitch that thought she was immune from the law because she is a journalist, got her come uppance. No one should be above the law.

You mean the decision to not prosecute someone for breaking the law, thus making it harder with more hoops to jump through, for people who DO obey the law? Amongst other things

Nothing. But there's a saying:

No man is above the law and no man is below it.

The law should be applied equally and fairly. Prosecute the journalist or it sets a bad precedence.

Pasted from another site: (which I won't name due to the NO POLITICS rule that some seem to miss)

How many times do we see the Police proceed with prosecutions with the public statement that they must let the Courts decide and pass judgement as it is not their place to do so? The Police are normally very unwilling to make a judgment like this from what I have seen and experienced. It makes my especially grumpy as a Firearms License holder knowing what the responsibilities and rules are regarding ownership, storage and handling. The Police have made a mistake on this one.

and

so if i have this correct, the police have discretion over wether to prosecute. this stunt by HDPA was done for ratings, not the noble sentiment such as "civic duty to expose a loophole" despite what media works say, and she gets a pass. greg carvelle, the auckland gunshop owner who made the headlines years ago when he defended himself and others in his gun shop against a machete wielding intruder, was prosecuted though. someone wake me up, puuuuulease. i feel sorry for the frontline police who go into every situation unarmed, not knowing if someone in the situation is armed, but they do themselves no favours with a decision like this.

Whoa that shit is way to civilised and well thought out.

Tommy. What you posted from that other site.
I was about to say the same..thanks you saved me having to type that out.
Really though so now the NZ Police are Judgers as well

Gang-related shooting in Highbury | Stuff.co.nz

This knuckledragging scribbleface fuckwit obviously got his shooter via a boogie mail order form right? Or did he get it via that other highly used loophole - burglary? The gibbering media make me sick

aye tommy youve got that in a nutshell.

There never was a loop hole, she broke the law to effect the purchase.

I'm with Rushy there is something fundamentally wrong with the legal system in NZ. There definitely an eleat class of citizen that have become immune to to force of the law. Drug use, violence, impersonation, etc all dropped or sentences lessened. It's not a good trend long term.

He built it from scratch, and sold it in 2001
