    Take the value of the reward out of the crime then what's the point in committing the crime to begin with ?
    How far would you take this, reduce car prices, preventing car thieves, groceries? Prevent shop lifting, reduce the price of electric ? And people will pay there bills ?

    Speaking of groceries yes, take GST off all fresh produce and fresh meat part of what is fucked up with all young people and older people is all the processed chemicals they are eating because the cheap food is shit food. shit my avocados fruit 10 months of the year but for a certain period the shops charge it like its gold, me lemon tree all year round, again not cheap in store.
    however people are not robbing the corner store for an expensive car are they? No they robbing it for the smokes and petty cash

    Absolutely it does and that's why it's illegal. But doing something like further restricting air guns will not stop the crime, but instead make it more dangerous.

    Talking to the locals and they will tell you the crime rate here in Florida has been steadily dropping since the introduction of concealed carry.

    Home invasion is almost a thing of the past.

    One petite blonde chickie, whom I mistakenly took for an anti gun type opened her jacket and showed me her 9 hidden in an inside pocket, locked and loaded all set for the draw if needed.

    She told me her and her friends practises several times a month at the local indoor range.

    One other chickie had a 40 S&W in the back of her shoulder purse and another in a custom holster in her glove box of her car

    Both looked as innocent and harmless as a mouse, but I would try to tangle with them.

    They made the point that criminals may think twice before robbing you as they don't know if your armed or not.

    Also people here are quick to apologise if they accidentally bump into you and are generally very polite.

    Lots of people here carry full time.

    Just saying!

    Cheers
    Pete

    Also find in the USA those states with open carry permits etc have less gun violence than the states that are far stricter on gun control

    Agree. I have not suggested restricting airguns, knives or screwdrivers.
    I do not say lockemupanthrowawaydakey or some other extreme vindictive sh*te.
    I simply speak for serious, truly proportional accountability for misuse of any such items.

    It's a legislative nightmare. People that complain fresh food is too dear that end up at KFC are bullshitting themselves. Jump on here https://www.facebook.com/nzfs9/ and tell me fresh fruit and veg is too dear. Nah it's the convenience that's the issue, ie laziness. As soon as GST is pulled, the price will bounce right back to where it was, and more will be spent on compliance than what was saved, and KFC will still make bank year in year out.

    however people are not robbing the corner store for an expensive car are they? No they robbing it for the smokes and petty cash
    Nope they do it because they are criminal fuckheads. Used to be bars, but eftpos uptake meant far less cash. Then pokies, now tobacco. It's just the crime d'jour.

    I beg to differ Paddy, I'm afraid Tommy is pretty much on the money. What constitutes fresh fruit and vege? Whats the guide lines and who's going to police it? Drop the GST and growers will just up the price by 15% because they know thats what people will pay.

    Do you know Supermarkets will put up to 400% increase on what the pay the growers for their apples alone
    what is fresh RAW fruit and fresh and veges is pretty self explanatory. any one who can not distinguish between fresh and processed is an idiot
    the guidline is if its fresh Raw produce then take away GST, its that simple
