Illegal Doco on TV2.

**ynot slow** · 9th July 2009, 22:08

Watched this programme by a reporter who used to work for Sunday Star Times about buying firearms without a license.He went into a gun fair with hidden camera and took footage of people and arms,asking if he needed a license doh?Came out bemused with right wing and other loonies actions there,and the type of weapons for sale,as well as police present for sales I presume and security.

Then he proceeded to get a rifle delivered to him with a fake arms license,that hadn't been seen by police and documented as ok,then met 3 other guys selling and asked if he could buy,but had to wait till his application was approved,2 guys said no way,other one was dubious.The dubious one fired a .22 into the air in town(had home made silencer),said if it hadn't sold he would give a call and was iffy on license.Ended up the reporter took a licensed person to meet up with the dubious guy and bought a .303 without sighting a license,thus he had 2 rifles.

What I want to know is why the police hadn't prosecuted the reporter for having firearms when having no license,as the rifles were delivered to his work,no sign of any license holder at his work,double standards maybe.

I bought a new .22 about 2 months ago from a sports shop,put it on hold and paid it off,the time I paid deposit wasn't asked for license,but when I paid the balance it was asked and written down in a book,along with serial number,my address,type of rifle.

All or most auction on trade me require a license to be sighted or police sighting faxed to buyer,the reporter seemed to think everyone would just sell him without a license,only about 600 rifles on trademe and he managed to buy 2.

Then the ultimate act of stupidity turning up to Hells Angels asking to buy rifles,was told to piss off.Idiot.And it continues next week,he is named and no attempt at disguising his face so hope he is in a bullet proof home,could be interesting doco me thinks.

Yup 'documentries' like that piss me off - what a beat up.

But dumb gun owners giving reporters 'ammo' for such a doco piss me off more.

In all fairness alot of tradesmen are cunts. And before you bitch, I am a tradesman.

And how many NZers are killed by bullets falling out of the sky each year anyway????

However stupid he may have been, (have to agree with you there, what's right wing got to do with it) he still outlines some very good valid points.

No he didn't the seller clearly said he didn't care if he had a licence or not and just sent it anyway via mail. Clearly seller must have lied about what he was posting because firearms of anykind are banned items through NZ Post (Normal Mail). He just said it's easy to create a fake licence using photoshop.

Still illegal shooting in your backyard and the bullet ended up where? Perhaps on the primary school backyard.

Granted.
But a mortar bomb it ain't.

And he made a point about a safe area where he thought the bullet would land I believe.

Most parents wouldn't be too happy with their kids coming across used bullets found on their school playground.

He just shot aimlessly in the air, could have deflected with one of the many trees he had and fired back.

0oh time to watch naked and funny

The guy had a couple of points re the availability of guns but I couldn't get over the bullshit he was spouting about the gun fair and how it could "get ugly" if they spotted the camera. That and knocking at the gate of the HA pad and asking about what sorts of guns they had.

What a fucking cock smoker.

totally agree, absolute slander.

I say this because even if they do nothing wrong, in a desperate attempt at reporting something bad they will wank on that "he should be wearing goggles/gloves etc"

I can't watch it anymore because of this, I don't really give a fuck if a tradesman is'nt using the right ladder!!! or not being an angel with a miniscule little PERSONAL safety breach.....

I just wanna know if they do the job well and at a fair price!!!

Slanderous fuckers!

Chit chit chit.

Wrong ladder = tradesmen falling off = rise in ACC levies in the long run.

ACC Police here
