Our idiots don't tend to have access to guns. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1446315 | 2018-02-16 07:43:00 | Our idiots don't tend to have access to guns. Aramoana, Raurimu. Napier. There are 3 off the top of my head. And how about the idiot with a vehicle in court in Christchurch today not our first wanabe jihadi and he is unlikely to be the last either. |

My point stands ;) |

Our semis have to be pinned at 7, theirs unlimited mag. Guns do not kill people never have people kill people. They let nutbars carry guns we dont. Stop being a Philip Alpers blamining guns, guns are harmless. |
