I just enjoy blaming Fish and Ixion - you mean you have something in mind to blame them for???

[Bend-it]

Of course... you cannot blame someone for nothing... hmmm... well actually you can.

What a pointless post. Who says a post with more than 10 chars is necessarily meaningful? I'll go have another coffee.

Gerroff it, read my other posts.
Exactly. I, and many others, demand to be allowed the pleasure of the hunt. You mostly need guns for that.

well actually, theres these dudes down in the naki... they hunt pigs with combat knives and dogs... so guns arent necessary...
Theres also crossbow/archery bow hunting... Some fools in canada hunt bears with compound bows... So "in reality" (as opposed to to the lala land of my own conciousness(sp) ) guns arent really a necessity... you could do with out them...

But its like riding a bicycle 20k's to work instead of taking your shiny new gsxr750... technically you can, but do you really want to?

In reality, I weep over every fallen sparrow.

So, im taking it your one of the people weepin over the dude with the machete(sp) aswell?

ladies and gentleman. What you have just witnessed is the longest explanation of nothing known to man kind...

Well, what do you think of my idea of modifying the storage requirements so that people can defend themselves, then? If the law's an ass, fix it.
I pretty much just pretend to be a sick cunt.

Your argument will always change to suit your agenda.

If what you really believe is he should be charged for improper storage of a firearm do you also believe you should be charged for careless use of a motorvehicle based on the pictures of you wheelying an fxr?

You cry for proper application of the law in relation to a gun dealer shooting a fuckin robber, should every little infraction of the law be punished equally?

Firearms, motorvehicles or council bylaws governing pet ownership. It's either strict enforcement or common sense.

I couldn't give a rats arse if every gun dealer in the country was armed to the bollocks at all times, if it prevents them being robbed of the weapons they sell.

Likewise I don't give a fuck if people wheelie up and down the street without harming anyone.

This charge and prosecution is a load of shit and a waste of public money.

Do you want to try chasing down a sika or mountain goat on its own territory, dogs or no dogs?

Guns are necessary.

Theres also crossbow/archery bow hunting...

Sure. I did say 'mostly' necessary.

I ride my bicycle 24km each way to and from work every day, Whenuapai to Newmarket and back. It's a Trek 1500, alloy frame with Shimano Ultegra.

Nuts to you!

I'm not gonna wade through pages and pages of threads to see if someone's posted this. So if anyone's missed it, here's the NZ Herald article:

The way it reads, it looks as if he didn't have a licence for that particular gun.

err, i ride an oldschool aloy frame scott mountain bike with slick road tyres (thankyou torpedo seven) every chance i get... usually its just an odd 30-40 km ride from town along the waterfront past mission bay to a mates place... But if im with my bro, then its every mornin and everynight from remuera to cook street... However i should hopefully be gettin a Giant STP0 (07 model... bwahaahaa) from RnR...

so, would that be "nuts to you " ??

"possessing a firearm without lawful, proper or sufficient purposes"

doesnt the dude work at a gun store?
hmm, so if he blew the dude apart with a .308 from the shelf, it would be all good?

i cant really say i understand...

40km from town via Mission Bay gets you to about... Mangere.

That's quite a way to ride on a pig of an old MTB, dude. Respect.

so, would that be "nuts to you "??

Roasted almonds, if you'd be so kind.

Mmmm. Almonds...

That's kind of self-evident, isn't it?

If what you really believe is he should be charged for improper storage of a firearm do you also believe you should be charged for careless use of a motorvehicle based on the pictures of you wheelying an fxr?

You cry for proper application of the law in relation to a gun dealer shooting a fuckin robber, should every little infraction of the law be punished equally?

Me wheelieing an FXR in a carpark doesn't really matter one way or the other. If I got nicked and charged, I wouldn't whinge about it, because it was careless. Sort of.

We've already done this to death on the thread. If the law says shop owners can't keep guns ready to defend themselves against robbers, you can't have exceptions when someone gets shot in violation of that. It's just not in the same league as a small speeding infringement or lofting the front wheel for a few seconds. Certainly I'd say a decision not to prosecute would be justified if nobody had been shot, but things went a bit beyond that.

I agree that the law should be changed, though.

[The_Dover]

that's bullshit and you know it.

law is law, whether it is to control the use of firearms or motorvehicles.

Like you say, had no one got shot, no one would care. The fact that some dick got shot does not alter the crime.
