Thread: Another Aramoana???

What a load of dribble from O'connor , he has one yr or less in his current job , & given the TV time he gets , he is more important than the Police Commissionar & Minister ?
He has been pushing his own agenda for quite some time , and he will use anything to try and get his way before hes Out , he is getting desperate .
At least half , maybe more actual poilce donot want to be armed fulltime , they realise that , maybe they are not quite up to the task/responsibilty , also that is not needed at the moment .
In every cop car there are guns , and when did you last see a cop walking a beat ?

I donot like the current trend of PC/social engineering / propaganda & down right lies massaqrading for facts & truth , we have enough real problems , and we need real solutions , not this in-correct bandaid crap .

RE : Crims usng guns in the commision of a crime ,

1) Gun laws & registration , will have NO impact on crims , they donot abide by any laws , writting more , DOES nothing , in real terms , we all know this , then why do the powers to be , seem to have NO common sense whats so ever ?

2 ) If you want to stop people using guns in a crime , simple , Laws , ie banning , will do nothing , BUT a penilty will effect them , once the Judge does his job , If you said , now anyone using a gun in a crime , will have life inprisonment ( actual ) , then almost over night , you will have almost zero crimes , involving guns .Why , because as stupid as crims are , they would recognonise that , the penilty is extremely harsh , and over night , would use anything else , ie machettes , axes , bats , clubs , knives etc , you get the story .

Also , anyone , tell me , why the Journo woman did not get prosecuted ? , she actually broke 3 laws , and they had the proof , so I ask again WHY was she let off ? , if it had been you or I , do you think the out come would be the same ?

Things happen for a reason , the way he goes on, you would think he has shares in Glock , and shares in a Alpers type firm for the registery ?

With the why current vetting is done in NZ at the moment , I think its very well thought out , the Only thing more oppressive govts in Europe do , is getting a Shrinks report , however , given the current way its done in NZ , ie a family member & non-family member , and actual face to face interviews , its very good , the Shrink would just make it more expensive for no real actual gain .

Me , I not worried about guns in NZ , as I think , its a rather well balanced approach at the moment , Me I more worried about Box cutters/stanely knives & petrol .

Later Chris

Just a fyi to all, I've been told that not ALL police cars actually have guns in them.
I imagine it's limited to the I cars and senior ranks cars. That's just my assumption, not fact.
