    "No politics or religion" - gosh I wonder why that rule came about

    Getting back to the original idea of the thread - I'm curious as to whether this series of media releases will be sustained or will die out - I think that what works is to just smile and wave, provide facts where possible and not engage with the wingnuts - all of this will be forgotten in a few weeks
    kiwijames and steven like this.

    You are right of course 308 but it will keep coming around like an orbiting comet.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Yes, I do think it will just die out and something will replace it(it seems that plane crashes and lack of security in international airports is the topic at the moment), or the national flag will be back in the lime light soon.

    Although there has been the small change in the mail order process as a result of a long run of firearm news, ending with the stunt by TV3.

    Will we go down the same road as Aus? Well I think not, but fear of moving to a similar system as Aus will hopefully keep us on our toes and hopefully increase overall vigilance.
