If you have ever doubted the judgement of our various National leaders or questioned their sanity .. doubt no more. Take ten minutes to read the Wikipedia explanation & record of the various threats and battles that make-up the "notoriously incompetent international butchery" of the CRIMEAN WARS 1853-1856. - I think that my take might be that millions died because the religious beliefs of their "leaders" who seemed to be arrogant, bigoted, hate-filled, prejudiced, power-seeking maniacs .. something akin to that Brenton Tarrant animal who singly killed 51 innocents in Christchurch March 2019.
Our current parliamentarians may additionally be suffering from poorly oxygenated blood flow to the brain from their under-ventilated office environs, but there is also little in the way of psychological evaluation or other examination such as a 35 page application form to complete - to assess whether they might be 'fit & proper' for directing public policy and legislation.
I already have the latest GUN DIGEST 2022 - that is notable for one "expert writer" wasting 11 pages claiming to test ammunition to verify the known fact that fired bullets will penetrate and fully shoot-through normal building materials - and an even lengthier dissertation on the multiple factory I.D stamp markings of imported Chinese made Type 56 SKS rifles (in both Western & Chinese script).
This publisher's Annual is among my more highly regarded reading material - but in line with much U S writing .. content can stray into unsubstantiated & opinionated marketing at times .. for example two earlier pieces about Webley revolvers state opposite opinions about their trigger pulls and accuracy. - can it be that saluting the flag every day colors some beliefs about non-American items? You might now even read about Glocks being THE American Gun .. This edition seems not to have any comment about the current rash of restrictive gun controls around our planet.
The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations published a survey (E/CN.15/1997/4 dated 7 March 1997) of 33 countries. - If broad band analyses are conducted, this survey shows that there is no correlation between rates of gun ownership and crime, accidents or suicides.
Greenwood noted that, even after many years of controls, it was effortless for a criminal to obtain a gun of his choice. - Greenwood concluded, “No matter how one approaches the figures, one is forced to the rather startling conclusion that the use of firearms in crime was very much less when there were no controls of any sort and when anyone, convicted criminal or lunatic, could buy any firearm without restriction.”
If you need evidence that THEY are not listening . read his submission to UK Parliament:

Another British writer Philip A Luty made his protest about loss of civil rights by writing a diy book on Expedient Homemade Weapons and another about making ammunition .. Both interesting & informative works are easily found on-line and prove that the media panic & outrage about 3D printing of plastic firearms is both misdirected and irrelevant to reality - considering that in 10 minutes with some tubing and a hacksaw any criminal can produce a simple SLAMFIRE weapon ..
The historic facts show that GOVERNMENTS are the biggest risk to the lives of law abiding families with their standing armies of trained killers and planetary Government arsenals of some 14,000 NUCLEAR WARHEADS specifically designed as "weapons of mass destruction".
I have observed earlier that a good friend who is an Elder of his Church guessed that there might be as many as 100 nukes in the world ..
Our New Zealand administration needs to be strongly reminded of their commitment to form AN INDEPENDENT FIREARMS AUTHORITY to administer the civilian firearms licensing process.
