Thread: TV3 & Guncity mistake

As Koshogi said - this looks like a standard PR stunt by Greg "The Police need to be armed!" O'Connor

A ham-fisted attempt to manipulate Mr and Mrs Citizen into worrying about firearms by using emotive terms like "firepower" and "weapons". I have no love for Gun Shitty but I certainly hope that this journo gets prosecuted.


After the "In the firing line" conference they have wheeled out Alexander Gillespie saying the usual stuff

Ninety Six percent of guns in NZ are not registered | Nine To Noon, 9:08 am on 22 October 2015 | Radio New Zealand

like that we need a buy-back and we need an amnesty and we need to register all firearms

Yeah let's punish the law-abiding FAL owners because they have been law-abiding, that makes a metric fucktonne of sense..



How about we require better security of A-cat firearms than simply a cupboard and put some funding into better training of new FAL applicants now that the Mountain Safety Council training brainfart has caused their system to implode - now that I would support but re-registering and an amnesty and buyback?
Yeah nah fuckoff with your stupidity, Greg.

It quite coincidental that the NZ Police Association President, Greg O'Connor opened a Police Conference today. Surprise, surprise, the theme is:
"In the Firing Line”, highlighting recent firearms incidents and the police response. We’ll be looking at the availability of firearms to criminals and what's wrong with the Arms Act".

There is allegations that Greg O'Connor was involved in this. I hope he is fully investigated for Conspiring to Commit an Offence.

Crimes Act 1961
310 Conspiring to commit offence
(1)
Subject to the provisions of subsection (2), every one who conspires with any person to commit any offence, or to do or omit, in any part of the world, anything of which the doing or omission in New Zealand would be an offence, is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 7 years if the maximum punishment for that offence exceeds 7 years’ imprisonment, and in any other case is liable to the same punishment as if he or she had committed that offence.
(2)
This section shall not apply where a punishment for the conspiracy is otherwise expressly prescribed by this Act or by some other enactment.
(3)
Where under this section any one is charged with conspiring to do or omit anything anywhere outside New Zealand, it is a defence to prove that the doing or omission of the act to which the conspiracy relates was not an offence under the law of the place where it was, or was to be, done or omitted

@stretch Is there an open API somewhere?

Not that I'm aware of, but I've found a security loophole in a certain website many FAL-holders use..

Signed also.
I'm away bush hunting for a week
Will check on progress when I get back.

@stretch Got it, I can probably guess

We can only be grateful that you have channelled your powers for good, not evil Stretch, thank Allah you are on our side

Disappointing to see such irresponsible journalism!
Thanks for link to Petition 300CALMAN...signed.

Just my two cents, most of it has already been covered by previous posts but I want to get it off my chest....

TV3 have fraudulently filled out a form, not only that, they also mislead viewers in their story as to what they had actually falsified. I listened carefully to what they said about taking the form to the local police station, they said that they didn't, but they were very clever in NOT saying that they had fraudulently signed the form as a police officer... Nor did they include that part of the form in the images they showed. For me, that's just TV3 reporting done the only way they know how, the manipulation of truth they use to get all of the "TV3 masses" on their side and baying for blood is just amazing. I wonder how many of those masses however would have turned the other way had they known that Heather had actually signed the form as the police officer.... Bearing in mind of course it's not the first or last time they will use this method to get a story, sell advertising and make themselves look like the saviors of NZ.

Maybe they should have the book thrown at them, maybe they shouldn't. I feel like part of what they did has helped to highlight a bit of a "soft" area in regard to obtaining firearms from retailers over the interweb, it did all seem rather easy, whether it was done legally or not. I'm in favour of the Police sending the forms to the seller on my behalf, seems to be a logical thing to do given that I have to go there anyway, and the police are just as capable of using a fax/email as I am.

At the end of the day, mediaworks and TV3 have just sold another $1million worth of advertising, the world will keep turning, and if they don't report on it any further it will probably just blow over like every other "investigative journalism story" TV3 has ever done... The reason why I flatly refuse to watch any news bulletin anymore... They're all full of shit.

Interesting post Greg, I was wondering last night if "advertisers" are the key to this, if we raised hell with them then it might close a feedback loop, I know that this has worked in the US (but sometimes one has to be careful what one wishes for, and there's lots goes on in the US media we don't want here!!)

signed and shared on facebook

The show is passed off as investigative journalism, more like creative journalism. Until last night, I never watched Heathers show "Story" and indeed it is in this case aptly named as such. I suspect ratings a plummeting and she needed the attention ( viewers ) to justify the axing John campbell.

Moral of the story, according to TV3/ Heather/ Mediaworks fraud is just a loophole ... Today I've quit my job and signed up for all the benefits I can find, If anyone wants to visit I'll be on a beach in Thailand.

They wouldn't have done this shit in Singapore... Be hanging by now.
