Thread: Feeling sick after reading this !

It's a reasonable well written article, not the crap you usually see in stuff - plus it has some interesting and valid points from the police

In The Herald actually but I digress, this article from the BFD blog site covers that article far better than I can explain without writing a novel myself. As I said it is a Hit Piece.

I would also recommend Firearms Owners apply some critical thinking, it is an Election year and we are going to be vilified yet again to cover for vast inadequacies by Govt/Police in the criminal sector. This comment from a Firearms Owner I thought very well put.

Joe Grond, quite a distinctive name, 22, labourer, able to afford expensive guns.
Despite my enquires to the Auckland collector fraternity, including dealers this guy is not known.
I find this hard to believe given the "facts" presented in the article.
My opinion is this chicken manure story is a plant from police with no charges being mentioned and it seems there are no back articles mentioning the arrest of Grong from 2019 or 2020.
This story smells as bad as the chicken manure writing.

Note to Angela Brazier, it is high time you stopped this sort of nonsense.
You are the boss you must realise that targeting firearms owners as "criminals in waiting" is and will severely damage any sort of relationship you want with firearms owners
