Opinions versus FACTS - & Unlawful Acts:

We all know why "gun control" is a hot topic right now .. there's no way that an Australian maniac can come into Christchurch in clean-green New Zealand and there horribly massacre and injure so many innocent victims without a shocked reaction.

However my issue with this immediate situation is that "authority figures" are using this tragedy to further their individual careers and political ambitions by loudly voicing their opinions and beliefs .. before the investigations, evidence and FACTS are released to the public ..

- Should anyone who is unable to control themselves from either unlawful - or uncontrolled violent & angry behaviour be permitted to possess firearms or to influence the regulation of such important tools?

FACT:

- Within hours of the end of the hurried "Buy Back" compensation scheme for "PROHIBITED WEAPONS" on 20th December - the very first reported firearms offence was when police officers were called to a property in Dunedin following allegations that an unnamed Senior Police Officer affected by alcohol consumption had assaulted and injured his partner on Friday evening, - after which an unlicensed gun was allegedly found at the home.

A previous Police Minister - The Honourable John Banks who was responsible for inventing the MSSA classification of firearms in New Zealand left Parliament after being convicted of filing a false electoral return – a verdict which was later overturned .. and he was working in the illegal trading in liquor from premises used as a beer house in his early years. - When he was young - his parents Archie and Kitty were imprisoned for procuring abortions. His father was a career criminal and his mother an alcoholic - while Banks claimed to have handled the Reising sub-machine gun weapon used in the famous BASSETT ROAD MACHINE GUN MURDERS.

FACT:

- Don't even ask why the NZ High Court ordered ex Prime Minister Dame Jenny Shipley to pay back 6 million dollars from her Mainzeal NZ activities ..

Should any of these individuals legitimately be considered to be 'FIT & PROPER PERSONS' to own or use firearms - or to direct their regulation?

Don't expect self serving people like these to fix problems in New Zealand - THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.
