Of course most of these deaths are caused by folks who already have a license, so probably won't change anything changing that part of the law. But I would really like to see some provision preventing a person from handling a firearm (at least for a good wee while).

Just my 5c, I'm sure others will disagree

Yep I totally agree but am a realist and can see this not happening ever in NZ.

I'm the same with you on the supervision thing, and as you well know I pick and choose my hunting buddies even when they DO have a licence!

I've had a few people ask me to take their kids out. To be honest, nothing scared me more. I can take responsibility for my own shots and wounded animals, but not other's!

I really don't like handing the rifle over to my other half either, even though it makes him pissy.

It looks like a lump of plastic and metal but the reality is, that thing is a whole lot of responsibility.
