PAINFUL & Unnecessary DEATHS:

 How many people die here in NZ from gun inflicted injuries? - In each of the last two years published figures, New Zealand recorded 2.4 gun-related deaths per million people.

But if you go back to 2014, New Zealand had less than one firearms death per million people, so there has been a steep rise over the past few years.

What or who is the real killer here?

- The biggest causes of death in New Zealand have nothing to do with firearms - but are cancer - heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases.

 Currently - of the 35,000 deaths registered every year - Cancer deaths make up 30.2% of all deaths, - ischaemic heart diseases 15.8% - and cerebrovascular diseases 7.8% in 2015.

The meaning of ISCHEMIA is deficient supply of blood to a body part (such as the heart or brain) that is due to obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood.

The biggest single business in New Zealand is FONTERRA - the producer of 30% of the worlds Dairy exports.

MILK IS MEANT TO RAPIDLY BULK UP CALVES - NOT ADULT HUMANS:

The problem is - that while this Corporate is highly PROFITABLE .. the foods it supplies are reported to be heavily linked to OBESITY & HEART DISEASE - dairy production is damaging our water quality and is a major contributor to NZ's Global Warming footprint and to the promotion of CANCERS - as well as a wide variety of immuno-diseases.

Consumption of both main proteins in DAIRY .. CASEIN & WHEY, is found to be seriously involved in the activation of cancers.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the author of The China Study, says through his studies he has found casein to be the most relevant cancer promoter ever discovered. This is an excellent book to read. 

I am not particularly a "Greenie" nor an animal rights nutter - being a hunter and shooting enthusiast .. but I do suffer from ARTEROSCLEROSIS and my heart was damaged by a 'HEART ATTACK' - being lucky to still be here enjoying life, following A TRIPLE BI-PASS & various life saving procedures and medications.

Both my sister and my oldest friend died of cancer - while my father died far too young from his terminal heart attack.

There's little point in getting angry with me about my above writing about 'Dairy Produce' .. CHECK THE SCIENCE FACTS FOR YOURSELF.

 " "Milk promotes healthy bone growth" "

Our current Government leaders would claim to be highly concerned about any avoidable loss of innocent life here - believe me, but untimely death from cancer or heart attack IS both painful and violent.

I suppose it would be futile to expect a financially motivated New Zealand Government with a Police Minister who would fail qualification for a NZ Firearms License - to be concerned about truly massive numbers of untimely DEATHS - or for them to take any effective remedial action on unhealthy consumer export product.
