Doesn't look very obnoxious to me.
Read it. Digest it. Then critique it.

"The more things that you can do to create steps in between that moment of impulsive thought and the point at which they're actually able to carry that out, the more chance you have that they'll think better of it and not go ahead with it," Telfar-Barnard said.

And this is why I'm not a Chippy any more, the thought of how dangerous a Hammer is' makes me feel SICK.

And this is my point....

You dont need to comprehend it. Just accept the fact that not everyone thinks the same way you do, always have always will...some times it doesnt make you right and them wrong

In 2020, Jacinda made sweeping firearm ownership reforms and took all the semis away because of how unsafe they made NZ. Turns out she should have taken away the gangs....

Easier to get rid of firearms owners gangs stick together whereas......

Of course not. They will continue to emit a stream of unbalanced clickbait regarding firearms until a draft of the new arms act makes its way out.
Then they will misrepresent it and sell lies to the public who they know will never read the act for themselves.

To be honest most firearms owners probably wont either

Headline: "Otago University study finds firearms deaths cost NZ up to $321m a year"

Actual data: "It showed the total cost of hospital care during the 19-year period was $28.2m"

Bullshit made up stuff: "but estimations - using the 'Years of Life Lost' measure - showed the costs of the deaths went far beyond the injury costs, reaching up to $321m per year."

So the headline should read "Otago University study finds firearms deaths cost NZ up to $1.4m a year" . They have exaggerated the actual number by 216%.

Two of the authors of the report have made previous political commentary on firearms in NZ, including support for Aderns actions. So it's likely they are affiliated with Gun Control NZ.

Doesn't worry me. In fact Im curious to the point of having asked to be interviewed. Who knows, they might be open to a little influence.

They certainly aren't going to read this thread and say "by cripes, they make a valid point there".

I don't think you can reason with the unreasonable but I admire your willingness to engage in good faith with people who will not reciprocate.
