    I agree but HDPA is just another mindnumingly boring stupid presenter being used as a puppet.

    This man is the one who needs prosecuting .

    Greg O'Connor, the retiring president of the Police Association, the police union, said his discovery of the "loophole" was a "eureka" moment.

    "I was telling everybody who would listen this was a loophole." He raised it on Mediaworks' Radio Live. At the point Story's gun stunt emerged, he says he was aware other media were also preparing to publish on the "loophole".

    "I thought the story was strong enough without going to purchase one," said O'Connor.

    While he labels the mail order issue a threat, the Police Association's submission to Parliament's inquiry into illegal possession of firearms makes no mention of it.​

    - NZ Herald

    There never was a loophole just a police state idealist trying to work up the population by pulling the strings on his "puppets"

    I've discovered when I hit the gas my Landie can go faster than the speed limit (downhill with a good breeze). Discovering this loophole in traffic laws was a "eureka" moment!

    Have the police inadvertently created a new defence of 'no sinister intent'?

    Seeing this info come to light makes the whole situation seem that much more rotten. Reaks of an orchestrated political hatchet job to stir up fear.

    My personal view is that there ought to have been a Police prosecution and a court case against all the muppets involved all the way up the line at TV3 as well as Greg O'Connor. There was definitely a case to be answered and that there was not highlights a double standard.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    What I find amusing (in a creepy way) is that pretty much after HDPA got in the shit, Hubby ( 30 yrs senior to the wee wh*&e) starts writing a column for the Herald that sounds worthy of a North Korean Dear Leader propaganda award.

    Funnier things have happened. Remember the Waihopai trio got off burglary and wilfull damage by using the defence of "the greater good", which related to the belief that because of the activity of Waihopai, they themselves could damage the place to prevent human suffering.

    That's kinda funny.

    Isn't it ironic that it's the police who set up the mail order form system and Greg O'Connor is the pres of their union and he's on the radio yelling about how the system the police themselves made is inadequate?

    HA

    What's ironic about a union president having a go at the bosses about their policies or procedures.

    I'm sure the police union members pay their subs for their union to do exactly that.

    Perhaps you need to do some research about what a union is and does.

    Police Union is not the same as Police Force.

    You clearly have no understanding of what the Police Association is and their relationship to the NZ Police.

    Yes, yes gents.

    I understand, but my point is that he is publicly making the police as a whole look bad rather than going through the process not via the MSM.

    The media doesnt really help here, Greg is quite often refereed to as a top cop etc instead of a union leader.
