    very sad news for ANZAC Day - Invercargill shooting

    Very sad for all involved.
    Wonder how the police, press and the anti-gun lobby are going to spin this one ?

    Over heard about this last night and wondered how it was going to be spun with the roar and duckshooting, plus the recommendations coming out...

    Tragic, but expect it to be spun that he was a LFAO (if he was at all) who just happened to be a cop.

    Tragic in the extreme.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    More regular licensing will have no effect detecting mental health issues, actually as found in the UK it will have the opposite effect, where firearms holders will avoid visiting doctors, for mild depression, for fear of losing there license.

    Just make a medical certificate from a shrink part of the relicensing process.

    No certificate, no guns.

    They may not pick up a screw just starting to come loose, but should be able to spot someone who is a danger to themselves or others.

    Reminds me of an old boy who walked into a gunshop near my old home town a few years ago. He was a well known regular customer.
    He asked to view a 12g, and once handed the gun, reached into his pocket, loaded said gun, and took his own life right there and then.
    No one saw that one coming, sadly
    Turned out his wife and lifelong partner had recently passed away.
