Walking on wild side here but Guns can kill people.
The "Butt Stroke" when the butt of the rifle is used to club someone to death & and of course fixing a bayonet is pretty handy as well.TV last night had a couple of log stools & deisel cans as the military camp - um - pretty scout masterish to me.
Digging to level 3, overhead protection, sleeping bays and then you've got something. -
Andrew - Bloody Kaka attacked me when I was cycling from the Fox to Gillespies Beach. Flying possums in my book.
Yeah I love the Kereru - really takes on (if I may) Kiwi Kulture - gets pissed when it can - flys around for fun gliding & swooping - and they get fat. Gotta love the Kereru -
Kyle shouldn't have a licence for fire arms due to his privious terrorist actions, but this should excluded him anyway.
"They are essential for defence (“you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight”) and they are a primary item for gaining food.Secondary items are bows and arrows and cross bows. These simple machines are powerful for hunting and or defence."
Crossbows don't need a licence and pistol styled crossbows have killed recently.

Where missing all the good news:
Copeland says united Christian party has failed

The ease of which NZ can fall into a fascist state lies in our lack of a constitution. From time to time we have dipped our feet in those muddy waters. A Special constables truncheon from the waterfront strike is one of the family heirloom.
Went to school and played soldiers with a couple of Subritzkys.
Not bad guys but made the mistake of telling us he was a Count. We dropped a vowel.

Guns are a convenient method for killing, after all, its what they're made for. But it is disingenuous to imply that by controlling or eliminating firearms those deaths wouldn't happen.
Jeremy, you seem to be contradicting yourself.

http://www.peace.net.nz/cgc_fact_sheet.htmlGuns in New Zealand
In New Zealand, 210,000 licensed shooters own an estimated 700,000 to 1 million guns. We have 11 times as many guns per capita as the English and the Welsh, 20% more than the Australians but less than half as many as the residents of the United States. An additional 14,000 guns are imported to New Zealand in a typical year. Each day an average of seven firearm offences involving danger to life are reported to the police, while one in five homicides are committed with a firearm. In a typical year 96 New Zealanders are shot to death: nearly two a week. Of these, 75% are suicides, 12% accidents, 11% homicides, while in 2% of cases the cause is undetermined. In an average year, 13 children and youths aged 19 or younger die by gunshot and another 89 people are admitted to hospital with non-fatal wounds. Our gun death toll is 10% higher than the toll from cervical cancer. For every ten New Zealanders who die from HIV/AIDS, fifteen die by gunshot. Of all victims of gun homicide in this country during 1992-94, most (52.5%) were shot by a licensed gun owner. Almost all victims (95%) were killed by a familiar person. Half were shot by their partner, an estranged partner or a member of their own family. Of the perpetrators, less than 1 in 5 had a previous history of violent crime, while even fewer had any history of mental illness. Every civilian in possession of a firearm must possess a current firearm licence, renewable every ten years. Sporting long guns (shotguns and rifles, or 96% of firearms) are not registered, while military-style semi-automatic rifles (MSSAs), handguns (pistols & revolvers), and restricted weapons (mainly fully automatic firearms) are individually registered and more carefully monitored. As a result of these tighter controls, crime with registered firearms is rare. -
I've got $10 on Mintos quote coming true - no terrorism charges.
Mr Minto said the police have put an "exit strategy" in place and the terrorism charges will not see the light of day.
