- He related how he was once in a 'gun debate' with a shooters spokesman who he described as "A gun-nutter who wanted to arm everyone" - then Gary said, an AOS member spoke-up as being the man who has to knock on doors and be shot at.
AOS members in Action
McCormick seems to believe that the AOS is anti-gun - whereas the facts are that the AOS are pro-gun - for themselves. Bearing in mind that NZ Police are subject to the same rights and laws as all law-abiding citizens here - that is actually good news.
We live in a world inhabited by 'man the killer' - in the last 70 years of peace since WW2 - more than one million people have been killed by acts of war every year. Remember that the NZDF have been repeatedly volunteered for action in VietNam, Afghanistan, Korea etc. - Consider Gaza, Iraq and Syria right now.
McCormick seems to believe that disarming law-abiding residents while instructing them to not resist any life-threatening attack by armed violent criminals is good policy. - Perhaps we should telephone for police (men with guns) - if we are able to recover enough to use a phone and staunch any bleeding while waiting.
This country has four times voted Willy Apiata - a highly trained weapons expert of the NZSAS and holder of the Victoria Cross for his combat actions in Afghanistan - as its most trusted citizen. - It did not select Gary McCormick.
I will vote to ban all guns after our Government has managed to control and disarm all violent criminals - who no doubt will be lining-up to hand-in their weapons on McCormicks say-so. - It will never happen.
Of course - here in New Zealand self-defence is not recognised as a valid reason to possess firearms (What was the reason for the police having guns ??) - but we are permitted to have them as sporting equipment provided we have been proven to be fit and proper persons, declared no interest in use of firearms for self-defence, and have obtained the appropriate licence.
