    This was my response to his article:

    "Calm down Liberace, enough with the scare tactics and culture of fear. This is not the USA, and our record is better than that. Your baseless, bullshit article is neither addressing the cause of violent crime, or any of it's symptoms: you are targeting law abiding firearms owners. Any death that occurs as a result of a licensed individual is a result of failing to observe one of the 7 basic rules. Any death as a result of an un-licensed or criminal element is not the fault of those who are licensed (provided the 7 rules have been followed). More people are killed every year in drowning accidents: by your warped "logic" we should ban: swimming, boating, fishing, diving etc. Get out of town for a change instead of sitting behind a desk and spouting off rubbish on a topic you know nothing about!! This stuff gets media time? REALLY? Max Christoffersen - go back to your lattes and pink polo shirt collection."

    Wow. That will certainly enhance his and his supporters' views of our tolerant, issue focussed and balanced approach. Not.

    Nothing will change the opinion of a zealot. Sarcasm is the lowest level of wit, you should try to say what you mean rather than play games.

    As above.
    Granted, the response is perhaps a little heated, but you cannot change the minds of people like this: they have brought into their idiom hook line and sinker.
    The media aren't going to help either, yet no one is proposing a response that will work: attacking my response helps no one (my response may not have helped either, but it made me feel better).

    Forgive me if i "offend" any of you guys, it is/was not my intention at all, just "a fact" to me.
    As i understand most of this "thing" that we are discussing right now came from people who "kind of" compare our NZ society with the "americans", so that hence my "american" post.(I am sorry @Tahr)
    Yes, we do know that our law has problems and we should "ALL TOGETHER" work to help fix it, reporters who look at create havoc is in pursuit of disagreement, division and dissolution, this way they will win over us good people who follow the (may be "fail") but law.
    We need to be together and support each other in this matter and stop find ways to justify GC or the reporter actions, what is right is right and the wrong will come up some time soon so the law breakers will be punished.
    If "we" know so much about the law and the "loop holes" that it has, why not study it a bit more to help the police and other authorities relate to make it safer.

    Thank you for your time.

As for stuff, there is a reason its names that- Stuff all fact checking, Stuff all truth, and Stuff you if you dont like all the fringe element reporters we found......

    There used to be an editor who would fact check before something goes to print- now Stuff just prints what it likes and if it is later found to be (woefully) inaccurate or wrong, they just change it after everyone has already taken the lies for truth. They dont even check the spelling and I have spotted some real primary school level shockers in there.
