Legend: The Jan Molenaar tragedy where he went on a shooting rampage in Napier has, as usual, brought more stupidity out of the woodwork. After killing a policeman, and nearly killing 3 others who are still on the critical list, his idiot of a neighbour thinks Molenaar is so good he paints "Legend" on his roof. If I was PM I would make sure this nutter isn't receiving any benefits.
Other idiots knew Molenaar had illegal weapons - eighteen of them - and did nothing. His partner knew the house was booby trapped with explosives and did nothing. And it goes on and on.
Although I don't favour arming the Police (although it wouldn't worry me if they were) I favour they get Tazers.
As for our gun laws.
Our 1992 change to the law under National so we registered the owners and not the guns, meaning a person can have, unknown to the Police, 20-30 guns, was madness. But it won't change, as after the David Gray rampage it was recommended by a Judge acting as a Commission of Enquiry to change our system. He made many recommendations and, as I understand it, even Labour couldn't get one through Parliament as the Gun Lobby is just too powerful. National with their farmer support will not do anything. So, like America, we get what we deserve.
Rugby. Hurricanes 8 Chiefs 16. We should have changed kickers to Weepu. Anyway with any of 7 teams able to make the semis the race is on as the last week approaches.
