We still maintained a lower gun homicide rate than they did without banning these weapons, and our own ownership rate was more than double theirs (NZ is 30:100 whereas Aus is 14:100) |

He didn’t have access to one, so he went for the next best that he did have access to. Nuclear Weapons are perfectly safe in the hands of the sane, but you wouldn’t want them readily available. :eek: |

At least, I believe so. I think I would have rather seen instant action be more to restricting sales until we had a concluded an investigation as to exactly how this all went down. Though to be fair, I don't think anyone in the country who isn't an NZ Citizen should be issued a gun license or permit at all unless there are extremely special circumstances. |

Yes, their's (the government's) was a knee jerk reaction, without consultation with any of the parties directly involved or affected by that action. Whatever happened to democracy? |
