Thread: Is buying 69 firearms from GunCity in 18 months signs of an addiction ?

I thought I'd try find out what this guy is looking at for his trouble, the firearms stuff is pretty petty compared to Class A drug dealing. Supplying a firearm to an unlicensed person carries a smack on the wrist as per the Police Firearms Manual 2002: 1.12 Every person commits an offence who sells or supplies a firearm (other than a pistol, MSSA, or restricted weapon) to any person who is not the holder of a Firearms Licence or Dealers Licence. Section 43, Arms Act 1983. Penalty: 3 months - $1000 or both. (Will that be 3 months per unit sold? I would be very surprised...)

Supplying meth will be the real clincher here:

Some drug offences and maximum penalties

In the following list, 'indictment' refers to a conviction dealt with in a Crown Court (with a jury); 'summarily' refers to a conviction in a Magistrates Court.

Possession

Class A 6 months imprisonment and/or $1,000 fine
Class B 3 months imprisonment and/or $500 fine
Class C 3 months imprisonment and/or $500 fine
Supply or manufacture

Class A Life imprisonment
Class B 14 years imprisonment
Class C Indictment – 8 years imprisonment. Summarily – 1 year jail and/or $1,000 fine

I wonder if it will be treated like this one: 'Methamphetamine queen' appeals 20-year sentence - National - NZ Herald News I am interested to see how the courts deal with this guy.
