    Wokester muppet

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fbi-di...AHMFEAQUX4FLI/

    This country should be really concerned about the "wokester" attitude of police, and of the police commissioner in particular.
    Having been gifted a 3D printed (replica) of a pistol by USA FBI Director Kash Patel, he sought advice from the FSA which determined that it could be made operable.

    One must presume that such a gift would be keep in reasonably secure surroundings, being something of a personal possession.

    Are we now to believe a suggestion that he would engage in some nefarious activity and convert this pistol into an operable device, or that it might be stolen from his possession and converted by the criminal into an operable device?

    What sort of effing muppets do we have here?

    More telling was that he destroyed them to comply with current firearms laws....Does that mean he could not get a license if he wanted one and therefore not allowed firearms...IE he is not allowed to possess a plastic gun....Now that says a LOT about our police administration... I have some scrap steel and some firewood here....That COULD be made into a firearm if someone had the knowledge...but if I had enough steel scrap I could maybe make a car with the right knowledge too...

    I dunno about being woke, seems damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If they’d kept them and they weren't deactivated to the same standard that we’d have to adhere to people would be jumping up and down about one rule for some.

    Bearing in mind that they’d be B cat since they’re pistols too so the fact that they wouldn’t have a license for them is entirely reasonable rather than not meeting the fit and proper standard

    I suspect they were ugly, tacky gifts, and they just needed a reason to destroy them without causing a diplomatic incident!

    There is probably some truth to this....

    Reading the article it says they could be made operable..meaning that in their current state they were inoperable...meaning they were non functioning, 3d printed ornament / replicas. Therefore in their current state they were legal to own if they are not modified. Modifying them into a working firearm would then become the offense and as long as our Police commisioner is not going to commit an offense and do this, he was not going to break the law....Unless we cannot trust our top cops to not break the law...????



    Also note that operable does not mean "safe to fire.....making it operable could just work out to be a way to make an explosion happen in close proximity to your fingers....

    Comes back to the thing in the arms act that there is nothing defining what is a deactivated firearm, or what has to be done to a firearm so that is sufficiently deactivated to make it no longer a firearm. As far as Police, I would guess that it was simply too much of a headache to try to deal with deactivated 3d printed paperweights that once were pistols...

    Headline could just have easily read” New Zealand officials confirm to the United States that they have lost the plot entirely and are beyond saving”

    The police have already proved that they're not to be relied upon to store firearms securely.

    It says it was inoperable so doesnt need deactvating?

    Too many scared to actually say that FFS it is possible but only just so forget about it.

    This reads like a low-key " fuck you" to the current American administration.

    Those " pistols" could have been displayed somewhere or gone into the Police Armoury. Instead they were used to virtue signal in a incredibly rude gesture to New Zealands only ally in the South Pacific.Pretty sad.

    Police Museum in Porirua would have been a good home.
