Thread: Unlicensed person with 19 mssa ... sentenced to home D

FAL revoked 2006, storing guns for "others" , possession of P .... and he gets 9 mo home D. Well that sets an interesting precedent ?

Damn that makes me feel cheated reading that.
All that talk of coming down hard on those in possession of semis or parts prior to the confiscation and law change.
What a joke, can't say it wasn't expect though.

Good to see the system in action, what a joke.

Well, they wouldn't have paid him for them at the confiscation... and we told them this would happen.

No firearms licence for FOURTEEN YEARS prior to his arrest 2020 with those firearms and more parts to build more. The judiciary and crown must be nuts to allow and then support the paultry sentence. The offender had those mssas for no good reason and through the amnestys.
Who'se arses has he licked?

yep, and the admission that he was "storing firearms for others" also beggars belief. He clearly has prior form and "associates" ?!

wow knew that guy

that AR180 looks nice. not surprised by the "Sentence" either.

That leaves a bad taste in your mouth

Even the judge thinks it stinks!! Q: Then why not give him a harder sentance?

"A nine-month home detention sentence imposed on a man who had 19 banned military-style semi-automatics and other firearms hidden around his house was "manifestly inadequate", a High Court judge has ruled.

However, Justice Sally Fitzgerald will not send Andrew James Cranch, of Auckland, to jail, saying he is within a month of finishing his home detention without any breaches."

Outstanding work by the crown prosecutor and original sentencing judge.
Offender would be laughing and partying through his 9 month home detention.

I am wondering what police records show of each of those illegal firearms; where did they come from and what others were traded over 14 years; and a bunch of related questions? How many Tarrant types had access? Something being hidden here methinks.

9 months of sky, netflix, playstation etc!

my heart bleeds for him!

i say let him have 24 hour a day 7 day a week repeats of jacindas "podium of truth" at full volume for 9 months, if that dont scare the shit out of him nothing will
