now that d....d is out of the way ,and coming back onto the subject ,I see in Stuff today the owner of Guncity in timaru a Mr Wayne Golightly breathlessly telling all and sundry that the PoLiCe told him they have no way of tracing stolen guns,and hes all for a national guns register so they can trace em!!
Well bugger me with a pineapple and call me Nigel,wayne i can only guage from your comments that youre either a recent convert to the issue or youve in snug with em blokes.
now look at history Wayne-it was late 1970s when there was a bloody paper register with assorted forms for assorted firearms lots of and all requiring police signatures.the cops got friggin rid of it cause it became too unwieldy-they went for a pretty little red license like the old style drivers license and you write each weapons details on a seperate page(IIRC).......oh no hold on new fangled computerised systems came in -the police system didnt cause it cost a fortune for a bloody failure???INCIS.
Ever heard of the Canadian Longarms Register Wayne???no ,well in short the canadian govt invested something like $3billion in this and it ultimately turned out a bigger failure than bloody INCIS!!
Finally if any of you want good peer reviewed research on the firearms issue ,theres nowt better than Professor Gary Mauser of Simon Fraser university ,Canada
this man is amongst ,if not the top academic on the issue worldwide.
The local Coterie of so called Academics our localMSM seek out are as much use as a babies nappy on a bull elephant with the shits in comparison to him.
He is on record ,and is not alone as saying NZin fact has the closest to ideal firearms laws of any country in the civilised world.
