    Last time I went to the "GunCity" in Timaru it was a pawn shop who sell "gun related" itens and then it have very few rifles in the shelf.
    If has been around a year now but with the other great gun shops already stablished in there I think the owners should think a bit more before open his mouth. I know we have very nice and acknowledgeble people in this forum who live and "shop" around that area.

    By not specifying the 'design' and giving construction guidance it prevents someone developing an 'unlock recepie' which is much better than the other option.

    As far as that idiot in guncity in timaru, I have no idea what he's benefitting from by going down the line of promoting a registry - maybe a sniff of selling some gunsafes? I still fail to understand how a registry will stop the theft of firearms, like motor vehicles once the numbers are obliterated who knows where the object came from...
    @Mauser308-thats exactly what intrigued me.this guy is in firearms retail surely he must be constantly exposed to shooters discussing politics of the sport ,and given the reputation of the franchise hes operating under does he deliberately flout popular opinion because he sees himself as a new age gun guru or is he just ignorant.

    I reckon he is only commenting to get some free publicity, no mattet the long term cost. Obviously not a very astute businessman.

    Cars and knifes are been used more and more as weapons, when will the "police" ban them too?
    Honestly this "discussion only make me even more "upset", listening/reading about all the bullshit some idiots keep throwing in the "air" to get some "publicity", we MUST get ourselves "together" and fight these horrible allegations "some" people are PUSHING on us.

    One way to avoid a serious challange to the Police's proposals is to have a "sweetner" in the deal for the Gun dealers.

    Since any additional hassel involved in having a gun licence is likely to result in less firearms being sold,then pushing for all sales to go though dealers is a way of keeping them on side.

    Gun dealers would love this.Especially when it comes to the sale of second hand Firearms,which going by the stock of the gun shops I visited in New Zealand is a market that has largely moved into cyber space.

    I have emailed Stuart Nash, Paula Bennett, the "firearmsadvisers@gmail" or whatever it is, and my local MPs stating emphatically that I do not support these recommendations as a licensed and lawful firearms owner, and stating why. I encourage everyone else to do likewise.

    Yep now's the time guys. Especially for those out duck shooting with mates that aren't on social media. Ask anyone you meet who you know has a ticket! A few letters from up and coming new voters i.e. The younger generation would not hurt either!
    I wonder if there are any do your bit posted in any of the hunting and fishing stores gun city shooters and reloaders?
    Might be time to email and ask them to put up notices. Anyone going in for ammo a new gun would then see this!

    Great, I hope everyone else has also been doing the same and keeping it "polite but firm".

    Keep the pressure up guys. Nicole reports she has recieved hundreds of emails from a wide number of user groups. If you know someone that hasn't sent anything, flick them the email address. Even it is one paragraph, something like " I do not support any of the select committe recommendations because I do not believe they target criminals". Numbers matter.
