AND Furthermore .. Dissonance Around NZ Police PCCK

- There's that old saying that goes "Only in America .." but I'd like to note that the stupidity of the latest changes to our local kiwi firearm laws strongly suggest the new phrase "Only in New Zealand" may soon replace it. 

NZ Police management are tying themselves into knots to generate deterrent policies of their choosing to restrict licensed / endorsed shooters .. with this latest example about using a carbine-like stock attachment 'PCCK' for handguns at the Police approved-certified pistol clubs.

Dissonance is inconsistency between one's actions and one's beliefs:

They have invented a new class (of NON-FIREARM) that they are calling a Pistol Carbine Conversion Kit ...

A Glock Semi-auto Pistol Mounted into a Roni "Pistol Carbine Stock"

.. Whereas in the "gun free" Mother Country of Great Britain - the only cartridge firing Handguns currently permitted to target shooters are the very similar sized LBP -  "Long Barrelled Pistols" that have to be modified with a lengthened barrel plus a grip or stock that is extended to the rear:

Of course "ordinary" pistols/revolvers ARE available all over UK - 

for the Police, criminals & DRUG DEALERS .. Just not for the legal subject shooters ..

Permitted British Long Barrelled Pistols

- It certainly seems somewhat illogical that one British jurisdiction is demanding long handguns - while our British New Zealand Police executive seem to be ploughing their own furrow by introducing restrictions & impediments to restrict the use of long handguns by some competition shooters ..

Illogical sure - but not unexpected - as the hundreds of pages of new legislation introduced by police here are wholly illogical, un-reasoned, & punitive and will have zero affect on the violent use of weapons in New Zealand crime .. the only purpose seems to be to camoflauge and obfuscate exactly  how New Zealand firearms regulations were so underfunded and unenforced as to result in white supremacist mass murderer BRENTON TARRANT being granted a Firearms Licence and issued with a permit by Police to buy thousands of rounds of ammunition for his guns.

Please carefully use your Party Vote at the coming Election. -

- If licensed shooters divide their party votes between two or more different parties .. they are halving their voting power.

- Also remember that all Party votes for groups that fail to enter Parliament are added to other parties.
