USA gun control

SHE was OK - her SON was a screamin' barkin' fruit-loop nutso.

And she was stupid enough to ignore that little fact and gave him access to her firearms.

In NZ only the firearms licence holder is 'officially' meant to know where the gun safe keys are kept, sorta makes sense huh?

Not much common sense within or outside of the law in such a case. I'd go a little further and ask for some kind of justification for an old dear to own such weapons, prior to issuing such a permit.

No limit on how many shots a MSSA can have - but you need a catagory E licence (at least) to possess one.

A catagory A licence holder can't have more than seven shot mag (or even LOOK like it has more than seven shots) otherwise it's in the MSSA catagory.

There's a whole lot of clap-trap listing what makes a rifle a MSSA.
(Do you know if you have a two-shot semi-auto with a flash supressor it counts as a MSSA - same catagory as a M4 Bushmaster which holds 20 shots, good old all-thinking NZ law-makers)

nono. since the police going beyond their authority and ending up with high-court egg on their face with the "we're going to illegally reclassify MSSAs" maneuver they pulled a few years back, the police-faces whinged to the pollys, and now the pollys have changed "the law"
(:Arms MSSF and Import controls ammendment Act - passed third reading and has royal assent - written with NO input from anyone who actually has a firearms license, as far as i can tell)

GOOD FUCKING DEAL!

BTW: One of our massacres was conducted by a nutter using a single-shot shotgun...I think seven were killed.

And one in which seven were killed was conducted by a nutter with a lump of wood. And the American record is Pedro Lopez, who strangled over 300 girls, albeit not all on the one day.

Was it a MSSA type lump of wood?
