    Faarrrrk - I must tell Chaz someone called him a lad! Hint - it's debatable wether he'd have been born in the 40s or 50s Haha

    And Chaz might challenge the threads titles piss poor spelling/grammar! Who's the 'young lad' that didn't do well at school? Lucky it's not part of the firearm application process! lol

    He's certainly not a lad in any sense. It was a doctorial thesis. In trade terms these are the approximate equivalents

    Lad= bachelor degree eg BSc
    Chap= master's degree eg MSc
    Bloke= doctorate eg PhD
    Therefore he must be a bloke, and a good one at that😊

    It's a bit of a low blow taking the piss out of people's spelling and grammar, school wasn't everyones forte. My missus has number dyslexia and has a masters and a phD, but I'm sure with Lecturers like you she'd be facing the wall in the corner.

    .....with all the grammar in the world (computers can deal with grammar and spelling mistakes) - there is no substitute for ideas, questioning and reasoning.
    If everything was defined by spelling, grammar and rules, we would still be gathered around a fire worried about how many berries we could pick tomorrow.

    How's life in your ivory tower - awfully lonely I'm guessing?
    If you're looking for perfection in spelling, sentence structure and punctuation I respectfully refer you to Shakespeare or his contemporaries - there are probably support groups who can help you.
    If you are expecting to find such on an internet forum, save us all some time and just fuck off.

    Someone appears to have an anger management issue over an opinion and also needs to get over it.

    ...more a wry observation. If you see fit to comment on people's writing on a forum, then I suggest you may have an issue.
    How you draw a conclusion about anger management from that is anyone's guess.

    Are you OK?

    For those unaware Chaz Forsyth in the topic article of this thread has written a huge number of articles over the years supporting licensed firearm users mainly in the recreation hunting side. Chaz is well respected within NZDA circles, a life member and at times will take the media to task over their inaccurate articles published. Chaz continues to voice his opinions on matters than concern us all.

    Given the costs involved in operating the registry, a good decent cost/benefit/risk analysis including what else that money could provide would be a useful exercise. Circa 1.5million a week if I heard correctly?

    Agreed. So let's agree to put aside the OP's grammar & spelling.
