i have never seen a motorbike shoot guns before, was it a BSA Hornet or Spitfire?
I wouldn't have been a bantam as they have no thumbs.
I was talking to a mate who knew a gunshop owner very well i was trying to remember how much those SkS rifles were in the mid 90's i thought they were $300
He agreed it was arround that and said the shop owner (who was a small player) used to bring them in by the container.
The owner of Gun city has a pretty long criminal record.
He was arrested at Los Angeles airport in 2002 with 29 guns in cardboard boxes. He also had 340 rounds of live ammunition.
"It was six months after 9/11," he says. "They just went berserk when they saw guns in a package leaving the country. They were hunting rifles and hunting shotguns."
He said at the time that he had brought guns back from the US every year since 1985, but the security climate was suddenly different. Court documents claimed he had lied to airport officials in Atlanta about what was in the boxes. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of failing to declare weapons to an airline rather than defending a charge of exporting without an export licence.
Bail conditions allowed Tipple to fly back to New Zealand and then return to California but he took the long way round, going to Germany and Japan before landing at Atlanta, on the other side of the US. The judge was incensed at this flaunting of the rules, leaned on his bench and said: "In America, we have a saying. It originated in Burger King. Burger King says, we'll do it your way. But in my court, you'll do it my way. Twelve months"
It dragged on. Two weeks before the end of his 12 month stretch, he was flown to Georgia and told he was now being charged with illegally buying 363 guns using fraudulent identification. he was in jail for a further nine months before they were finally dropped.
There are other stories. He sued the police for defamation over remarks made in 1999 when his firearms dealing licence was revoked. A Christchurch District Court judge found that police made mistakes and gave him his licence back along with $25,000 costs. A settlement was reached in the defamation case eight years later.
In 1992 he fired a gun over the heads of skinheads who were tampering with his car.
In the same year he was acquitted of shooting and wounding three would-be burglars who were trying to steal motorcycles from his farm shed.
He lost his driving licence in 2008 after a high speed North Island car chase that reportedly went for 16 kilometres before police road spikes put an end to it. He was disqualified from driving for eight months.
His company also sold a gun to a reporter with no gun licence

In the late 80's there was a heap of Norinco SKS brand new, in the box with a thousand rounds of mil spec ammo( cheap steel ball), all in clips and cleaning kit for about $600-1000 depending on where you shopped. My mates all bought them, I already had the russian version, which I believe is the original, and we did a shitload of target shooting, shot up a mob of goats, and got bored with them. They were problematic to mount a scope on for hunting and so not much use really. I don't even remember selling mine...meh.
Only a Rat can win a Rat Race!
Not sure pretty as he said he sold 3 i am assuming the original reports were correct in saying he had two ar15's the shot gun were likely from him.
Turns out he has hired a PR consultant as well. The police tried to stop him bringing in the AR15s a few years ago he fought them in court and won.
The ones i remember being so cheap were Chinese and secondhand. or at least New old stock they were pretty rugged looking. If the smaller guys were bringing in container loads how much were the big boys bringing in.
I had a feeling there were more expensive Chinese or east European Kalashnikov's also,.
so they deal one serious drug problem with an exchange needle system, why not exhchange bullets?
let them buy them five at a time.
Could that have something to do with have a gun toting rootin-toot putin saluting Republican president?
The that same NRA gun lobby group, Who spent millions dollars trying to get him elected , might have expected a few favors?
The exact same NRA that co-incidentally contributes to all the Republican candidates
Well, one "upside" from this Aussie cunt, is that he has successfully united all of the NZ gangs.
They all have put a "kill" order out on him.
