The firearm thread

[TheDemonLord]

Of what? I'm not trying to overturn a majority opinion...

So that's a no then.

At least it's (somewhat) honest of you to decline...

Good price too.

Which is proof, as if any was necessary, that beauty is in indeed in the eye of the beholder.

Previously the police didn't like those, or the Charter Arms AR-7 survival rifle where the barel was stored in the stock, it was the lack of length that bothered them. Never mind that they couldn't be used in that state.

In the US small aircraft carry those, but deploying that against a grizzly would prove unfortunate.

In WW2 the Luftwaffe in Africa carried something like this: 12g over 9.3 X 74R which, with the variety of ammunition, would be a whole nutha matter. A serious survival tool.

Really? I know of prior cases - but they all had pistol grips. Not the 10/22 or the AR-7? Or was it all take down rifles?

I personally would prefer a bolt with this stock. But yet to find a take-down with a bolt that isn't something crazy like 338 Lapua.

Yep. It's the length they didn't like. Not that anyone could use it in that state...

Well i eagerly await the 2030 firearms policy review where the only thing left is loading a shell into a bit of pipe and hitting it really hard with a hammer.
Because "safety".

You might not have to wait until 2030. I hear that there are people in the corridors of power that are so impressed with how easy it was to outlaw semi automatic rifles that they are now considering banning other classes of firearms. One check on their enthusiasm might be the millions this buy back will cost.

There is already strong talk about the pistols being next in line. "large magazines" ... like those the police use in service pistols, will be confiscated. Any double stack mags, in fact.

[scumdog]

Publicly there's a deafening silence re firearms and the 'buy back' (WTF? How can you buy back something you've never owned???)

[scumdog]

You and your rants are treated with the contempt they deserve, You losing your AR10 is not an attack on democracy, quite the opposite, it shows it works.
Myself and 80% of all other kiwis believe in the law change, as do 99% of the other MP's, So thus, the law changes, this is democracy. If you don't like the laws in NZ, or intend not to follow them, its time past time you left NZ.
You follow and espouse on the net the exact same theories the killer had, you visit the same sites, You post the same material. Yet now you are moaning you don't have access to an AR and larg cap mags same as he did.............

You don't speak for me

(Wait until the only bikes allowed on the road are LAMS bike...)

I never realised you were 80% of New Zealand, that s lot of Donuts, scummy.
Nor have i claimed to speak for you.
Maybe you can explain to me why an average joe Smo really needs a AR10 or 15 then?
Give me the 16% view how losing a AR10 or 15 is an attack on democracy when its what the majority of people in NZ want. 16% exactly co-incides with the number of gun licences and their spouses BTW.

Well after someone goes apeshit on a hayabusa or H2R and kills 50 People in a few minutes you might find the same level of support for banning some motorbikes.
When the Lams rules was introduced in the first place people coped, prior to that any learner could ride a KR1S or a RGV250 or NSR250, Likely when you got your licence there was no learner laws at all.

If the mags are confiscated the guns are useless. The rules as applied to tube magazines wouldn't work for pistol magazines. If they want to buy the pistols OK I guess.

The gun dealers are in for a sales boom.

And here we have the blatant Double Standard.

Do you remember the Nice Truck attack? 83 people killed in a few Minutes, the event that radicalized the Terrorist, Do you remember the calls for Banning of Trucks?

No?

Well, that's where your entire argument falls down.

The ideological Zealots in Labour have already declared they don't care how much it costs.

The only shame is that the Teachers and Junior Doctors who are crying about Wages refuse to come out and publicly advocate against the waste of Money that will be the Buy-Back/New Laws.
