GUN RIGHTS Truth & Lies (& How It Matters):

Here in New Zealand there is the one select group of 250,000 people who have been found by the law enforcement agency to be so law abiding and trustworthy as to be permitted to own & use firearms - & these responsible citizens are now under strong political attack by their country's GOVERNMENT for having been issued a Firearms Licence and for daring to try to protect that right.

.. Unbelievable. - It is as if they (we) are being blamed for that shocking 'Mosque' terrorist mass murder.

- Currently NZ seems to be suffering increasing shootings by police officers - while in UK cities killings are peaking at two or three stabbing murders every day. Coincidentally both of these British nations are short of thousands of police officers.

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS?

.. Article 7 of our British AND New Zealand Bill Of Rights clearly states:

Bill of Rights 1688 (February 13).

" Subjects’ arms. That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions, and as allowed by law:"

- By the passing of the (NZ) Imperial Laws Application Act 1988 - the British Bill of Rights, unmodified, became part of New Zealand law.

If someone - maybe the leaders of a country - denies the facts about something important .. repeating that same lie at every opportunity .. even when others counter with proven facts - it becomes like a game where the biggest loudest most repeated single assertion becomes the winner. This is certainly what is happening in UK and USA in recent years. - People are becoming entrenched in their nonsense "beliefs" anyway.

The other aspect is .. that so many folk are too busy with their day-to-day living issues and soon forget any original "un-adjusted" reality.

NZ Minister of Police Nash:

This is how conditioning and "public relations" misinformation works. - Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes 'fact' .. in my experience that's how it works.

- Here's a couple of simple examples for you of how "marketing" persuasion works:

Did Sam Colt invent the revolver?   Factual Answer .. No - the earliest known revolver is in The Tower of London Armoury dated around 1680 .. 150 years before Colt.

When did Samuel Colt design the Colts Model 1873 SAA PEACEMAKER?  Factual Answer .. Never - William Mason designed it - eleven years after Colt's death.

W C Fields.

 - Politicians & business persons do & say anything that they can get away with to make take money from anyone else. "Never give a sucker an even break" WC Fields 1923 & 1936.

- Does it matter that you are lied to and treated like mushrooms?

.. Not much nowadays .. otherwise - you'd do something about it .. there seems to be plenty of individuals around who no longer care to distinguish between reality and their emotional preferences .. "what's the diff?"
