Another thing to consider, people speak as if we have a massive problem with gun crime, but other than inner city shit kickers robbing liquor stores, and drug dealers having a stash of guns, where...

I'd have to agree with what Beavis said, gun crime in NZ is so minuscule you would wonder why it's even talked about... But unfortunately due to hidden agendas behind the mass media and govt it...

That is, in part, my point. I see it as a potential unforeseen (but not unforeseeable) consequence of enacting those law changes. I dont disagree that those changes were well intentioned, but I...

encouraging people not to speed isnt effective because the public are wising up to the tax rort that it is. The arguments for the zealous enforcement are bullshit. Regisration of firearms is a...

The fact is that its uses are infinitesimal compared to the astronomical monetary and administrative cost of implementing and running the system with any degree of accuracy. As has been borne out by...

I look at it from cost to benefit. Is it gonna be worth the money and labour recording (pulling numbers from thin air) legally owned guns to catch maybe 1 or 2% of license holders who do dodgy...

Realistically any amount of security can eventually be circumvented with enough time, equipment and desire. We are just more likely to read or hear about it these days when it does happen.

My understanding is that this person had security far in excess of what the law requires, so for fuck's sake, there is no need for self rightious people to jump to conclusions-do you think you...

Whatever they are cooking up behind closed doors will inevitably be detrimental to firearm ownership in this country, either through stricter conditions or increased costs - or both. Instead of...

Define "very best of your ability" and "every possible step". Should a FAL holder be spending $1000+ on the security of, say, a $200 .22? Raising the security requirements could be seen as an...
