    I reckon they like whatever gives more clicks to their website to keep the advertising dollars rolling in.

    Kind of ironic that Auckland Pistol club is having problems with their neighbors objecting to noise and this shooting club gets the green light.

    I imagine if they opened a gym next to the wanker he'd complain too; "martial arts? Only idiots who think they are Rambo want to learn martial arts. Don't they know the Queen will protect them?!"
    Or a car dealership "Volkswagen? those are fascist cars! I brought my kids here so they could frolic freely away from poor people, and not be corrupted by fascists!"
    I imagine he takes issue with New Zealanders being able to fish in rivers without paying the land owner, and the fact we go duck shooting without getting dressed up in tweed or employing a butler to row onto the lake to pick them up.

    I bet when he did clay bird shooting he had a manservant to load the gun and hand it to him. Sorry if I sound bitter but I know quite a few English people here who are stuck up beyond belief and wont stop telling people how things ought to be done. I reckon we deport the lot of the pretentious snobs to make room for refugees who will actually be thankful to be here.

    Not all Englishmen are snobs tommygun. Pengy and Scouser are good examples that Pom's can exist without being snobs.

    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

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Apparently the site of the proposed range is currently a motocross track? Funny as if that's true, shooting range will seem nice and quiet then!

    I know, I know some good ones too, the split seems to be 50/50.

    Upperclass vs yobo's. Pengy and Scouser are definitely your run of the mill yobo's

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    I must admit that I'd hate a pistol club only 1.5km from my tranquil house too. Could get expensive.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
