I'm the only thing standing between my bank account and spending the money, if it was actually my job to be responsible I'd have to fire myself.

Typical anti gun strategy, up here they tried to show how bad guns where by trying to list pellet,BB and paintball gun injuries. Another tactic was to list all firearms deaths as one lump sum failing to show that suicide are almost 80% of that number. The actual homicide by firearm in Canada works out to an average(2000-2016) of 164.6/yr for the whole country. If one were to eliminate a few key cities that number takes a huge dive. While no one wants to see a death, your chance of been killed by a gun are pretty low compared to many other things. The antis argue guns are not a part of Canadian culture yet there is 34.7guns/100 persons and we rank 7th in the world for ownership.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/07/gun-conversion-kits-not-in-the-spirit-of-the-law-gun-control-advocate.html Gun conversion kits not in the 'spirit of the law' - gun control advocate There are concerns modifications to guns to comply with new firearms laws could be easily reversed. Police are looking into whether kits designed to modify AR-15s from semi-automatic to pump-action would allow owners to keep the rifles, which are used in about half of all mass shootings in the US. Gun Control NZ co-founder Nik Green says allowing the modification kit would render the new laws pointless. "Any conversion isn't permanent, so you could quite easily switch it back to being a semi-automatic... It doesn't take these dangerous guns off the streets." A police spokesperson said they are still looking into the feasibility of modifying AR15 semi-automatics. "The Police Commissioner will publish the manner and standard required for the safe and permanent modification of these and any other firearms. A process for how modifications can be carried out - and a list of approved gunsmiths to do the modifications - will be published on the police website soon." Green says people need to take the moral high-ground, with conversion kits not in the "spirit of the law". "Our preference is people hand in their guns, take the compensation, and buy a new gun - a gun that is fully compliant, a gun that won't be in the grey area of the law and cause problems in the future." Council of Licenced Firearm Owners spokesperson Nicole McKee says the confusion is not fair. "Firearm owners themselves are out there trying their best to comply with this new legislation, and they do expect to be able to have confidence in the legislators to direct them." She dismissed claims that modifications to semi-automatic weapons can be reversed. "Once those firearm parts are handed in... then they can't be converted back, can they?" McKee says owners are looking to modify because the true value of their weapons isn't being met. "If they think there is avenue they could take that is not handing in their firearms, but maybe looking at a compensation claim at modifying their firearm, then most definitely hold onto their firearms, for now." The first buyback event is this weekend.

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/can-ar-15-owners-avoid-gun-ban-pump-action-modifications-not-even-police-know Can AR-15 owners avoid the gun ban with pump-action modifications? Not even police know Gun owners are calling on police to clear up confusion over whether banned high powered assault rifles can be modified to comply with the new firearms law. It comes as a New Zealand importer considers bringing in an AR-15 modification kit, known as the Animus, which can convert the gun from a semi-automatic weapon to pump-action. The AR-15 was the primary weapon system used during the Christchurch mosque attacks. The converted pump-action AR-15 has a limited capacity and fires slowly, with every bullet pulled into the chamber manually by hand in a similar fashion to a shotgun. It was designed by an American company to comply with their own gun legislation. There is room under the Government’s gun reform for modifications to make a prohibited firearm legal. However, police are yet to specify exactly how this should be carried out. Police were unable to confirm whether the AR-15 modification kit was legal when contacted by 1 NEWS today. In a statement, they said they were ”currently looking into the feasibility of modifying these particular firearms”. Christchurch gunsmith Andrew Bakker, who runs Phantom Gunsmiths, said it was technically possible to convert an AR-15 for a range of different uses, including a smaller .22 calibre and pump or bolt action. “AR-15's are built so people can convert them to long-range rifles or specialty rifles — depending on what they want them for — straight out of the box. They have an upper and lower and you can swap parts in and out,” he said. A representative for the Council of Licenced Firearm Owners, Nicole McKee, said owners were looking to modify where they could because the “true value” of their guns weren’t being met in the buy-back. “People will be looking at other avenues of being able to retain their firearms in a legal configuration so they can continue to keep them, use them and not be out of pocket for handing them in,” she said. “We are looking for a fair and reasonable approach to all of this and it's really important that the Government and police have a fair and reasonable approach.” However, Nik Green of the reform advocacy group Gun Control NZ said the conversions aren’t permanent. “Guns are modular tools, you can take them apart, you can swap pieces in and out and what that means in practise is that a semi-automatic weapon that's been converted into a pump-action or a bolt action can easily be converted back again,” he said. “We would discourage people from doing this. There are opportunities to bring in prohibited weapons, get compensation and buy totally compliant weapons through the buy-back scheme.” The AR-15 is just one part of the discussion. Many want to convert their banned hunting and sporting rifles, but don't know how. Gunsmith Andrew Bakker said he's received at least 50 inquiries. “It's going to be your .22 bolt action rifles that have more than 10 shots, or antique lever action rifles that have more than 10 shots, they're the ones that I've been messaged about the most,” he said. “Lots of these rifles are collectible, I know people who have got rifles who have come back from WW1 and WW2 that have got a historic significance, and they don't want to see them put through the shredder.” The question now is whether, with all this confusion, gun owners will stay at home when the buy-back begins in Christchurch on Saturday.

A real shame they disbanded The Devil's Brigade. Currently position 3&4 for longest sniper kill are held by two members of the PPCLI , Arron Perry of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry exceeded it with a shot of 2,310 m (2,530 yd). Perry held the title for only a few days, as another man in his unit (Corporal Rob Furlong) beat Perry's distance with a 2,430 m (2,657 yd) shot in March 2002. Perry and Furlong were part of a six-man sniper team during 2002's Operation Anaconda, part of the War in Afghanistan

The Plan In the beginning was the Plan. And then came the Assumptions. And the Assumptions were without form. And darkness was upon the face of the Workers. And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of poop, and it stinketh." And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof." And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it." And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertiliser, and none may abide its strength." And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong." And the Directors then went onto the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth and is very powerful." And the Vice Presidents went unto the President, saying unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company; with powerful effects." And the President looked upon the Plan, and saw that it was good. And the Plan became Policy. This is How poop Happens.
