    @bigbear - another wet bus ticket case was about the firearms supplied to Quinn Patterson, who committed a double murder at Whangarei Heads back in 2017. Michael John Hayes supplied firearms - including MSSAs - to Patterson who killed a property manager and her daughter when the pair paid a visit to Patterson's home, apparently to install smoke alarms.

    Hayes was sentenced to a year's home detention back in 2018. He admitted to several charges, including supplying firearms to Quinn Patterson, who did not have a firearm licence. The Judge said Hayes knew Patterson didn't have a firearms licence but left six guns at Patterson's home and helped him to buy more.

    A year's home detention, for what lead to 2 people being killed??? Having had a licence, Hayes would have been acutely aware that his actions were illegal. The justice system is completely out of touch when it comes to sentencing.

    And ‘some’ believe gun registration will stop this sort of catastrophe...
