Thread: Our gun laws

The reason why we have MSSA restrictions is because of Government knee-jerk reactions to the Aramoana Massacre in November 1990, under public pressure to 'do something'.

The fact that David Gray had a trespass notice issued against him in January of that year for threatening a shopkeeper with a shotgun is hardly ever mentioned. Had the Police not been so fucking incompetent, they may have saved 13 lives, and we would not have to give a shit about the shape of the weapon, or its capacity.

In most spree shootings, the offender has been known to the authorities. Of course, the authorities need a scapegoat, so, blame the guns.

Talking about fit and sane person in regards to MSSA firearms, I did not realise that there is no reason to give a reason to why you need a E-Cat firearm. So since you have an E Endorsement (MSSA) then you must be already a fit and proper person.

This was encouraged by the public and politicians being misled that a MSSA was the primary weapon used.
