New Weekend, New Bylaw, same problems!

Kia Ora,

Well Friday night & despite the new Bylaw here in Christchurch there has really being no change here.

Whilst certain streets had the boy racer cruising issue, this area has more had the diesels & more lately the lone car doing a burnout starting tonight at about 8.20pm followed by a shot from what I would say was an air rifle.

The vehicle then speed off.

Just the other day I mentioned to a local business about chip in his window. "stone chip?" "no, air rifle. Pellet went into & destroyed the glass of the cabinets at the front of the premises."



They found the pellet in there next morning.

The modern air rifle is much more powerful & in fact if it wasn't for the small mass of the pellets, their velocity (as quoted to me by an owner of one or two) were faster than most military rifles. I thought they had made a mistake.

But as the police have found in the last few years in the wrong hands or used indiscriminately they can be very dangerous.

Hence the push to bring them under the firearms legislation to be treated as a full firearm.



Obviously these adverts I have here could not enter NZ just by buying them on line, but offshore it is clearly a different story.

Using a firearm is not game but many play the computer games these days & think that all they have to do is push a button to start again.

Pull the trigger & you have to live with the consequences.
