The firearm thread

[oldrider]

It's cool that you solved the problem. I was lusting after a seriously expensive air rifle but the company went bung and I haven't sorted a new lust object as yet.

Ahh - one shot one blackbird! - Supplier said that they accept that the gun is faulty just I described - replacement gun is performing OK!

Was worried about the old adage - "The older I get - the better I was syndrome" cutting in and so kept blaming myself! -

Note that "I" am now the murderer of the blackbirds - how the fuck does that work? - - Women and their wily ways!

Am actually enjoying poxing about with gun things again.

A little bird was telling me last night that firearms owners have bad news coming. More firearms and some ammunition are going to be banned but he wouldn't be specific. The additions will, however, be challenged in court. I guess we should hold the outrage until we know the detail.

I wonder how many were those 'evil black assault-type rifles' and how many were just 22s and shotguns with magazine that weren't legal - or just five-shot centre-fire semi autos like Woodmaster, Winchest Model100 etc??

We just had a 5.5 billion dollar budget surplus despite paying off some of the debt the last crowd racked up with with their 8 out of ine years of budget deficiets and massive off shore borrowing
The gun buy back is a also one off cost.
It was supported by every single political party that polls more than 1%
It is also supported by 80% of Kiwis.
You are not missing out on anything you need.
What civilian really needs a firearm that is capable of killing 50 humans in a few secconds

We dont need firearms to get rid of your ilk. We'll just copy pinochet and get a couple of helicopters instead once you twerps take all the guns. (Those new heli's the governments got might come in useful afterall)

What you post is true.
Regardless, it's about what they budgeted & projected versus what the true cost will be.
If anyone ran a business like that they'd be on fair go every Monday night, if not in jail.
There seems to be far greater expectations of honesty & accuracy from a small suburban garage than the Govt.

Yip ,all true, but unfortunately you cant be sure what the bill will be for the buy back, as there is a critical lack of information.
also it has to many other unknown variables, we don't know how many guns there is, nor their condition, nor what type they are, let alone how many will be handed in.
I dont care what it costs as long as it is a one of and doesn't get diluted but future governments.
Also when you have someone borrowing 250 million dollars a day to pay the running costs of a country someone should be in jail not being given a knighthood. how many days is it for the cost of the gun buy back. less than a week.
their isn't enough scrutiny or checks and balances placed on our governments certainly a few would not get away with the decisions they make elsewhere.

Financial success is closely connected to treating money, yours & that of others Like it has some kind of value & consequences.
Throwing it around willy nilly on whimsical whims won't get a country or individual anywhere, regardless of skivvy colour.

You are right again thats twice in 24 hours ,I hear your home town is looking for a a new MP soon, you should apply. The current guys a bit of a twat.
But given the preference i would rather try and fix a problem rather than pretending it doesn't exist or spending millions on think tanks and consultants But then ignoring their advice.

80% you sure about that?

[austingtir]

No he just quotes newshub polls and fake polls all over the show.

As said in other threads its going to be funny to watch this idiot at the next election and at the end of this gun grab explain what happened.

[husaberg]

80% you sure about that?

Nah i just made it up.......colmar brunton and 10000 registered voters
the poll, conducted by 1 News Colmar Brunton, asked more than 10,000 Kiwis what they thought of the Government's move to change gun laws following the Christchurch mosque attacks

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/chr...cks-poll-finds
Yes i am sure the poll showed
Sixty-one per cent thought the changes were about right, 19% thought it did not go far enough and 14% thought it went too far.
Five per cent didn't know, and 2% refused to answer.
The maximum sampling error is approximately ±3.1%-points at the 95 per cent confidence level.
The 14% who disagree collates strongly with doubling the number of Firearms licences in NZ ie 6.25% x2 ie gun owners plus the partner which equals 13%
Dont you think its rather telling that more people thought the law changes didn't go far enough than thought that it went too far........
