The news media is having a field-day here at present. The evening news is full of anti-gun 'experts' full of mindless and totally ineffectual 'solutions', and the usual raft of populist politicians opening their mouths just wide enough to put both feet in! Whatever legislative changes come out of this, they will have to go through 3 readings in parliament with consultation and submissions called for. That is when the cooler heads will have a chance to keep things to a sensible outcome. The local rugby team, the Canterbury 'Crusaders' is now talking about changing their name to something 'less offensive' to Muslims. God preserve us! The Canterbury 'Petals' perhaps? Mass hysteria is taking over, a bit like the Salem Witch Trials, with law-abiding shooters being the target. Meanwhile, the gun stores are selling out of semi-autos!
