Universal Love TRTT Part 8: Random thoughts also sack Hinkley

Semi-auto. Difficult to see how a full auto weapon would be more efficient for a spree killer than semi-auto. Even in combat situations full auto is pretty much only used for grounded-in covering fire.

The rifle was full auto.

Don't know why it would be, it's not a requirement.

Semi-automatics are legal in NZ and only a licence is required. Magazines are restricted in capacity but it's not hard to source bigger.

The question which people seem hard pressed to answer is, how do you get the guns back?

Our firearms were registered, theirs are not.

...
WTF was going on during that time?
Pretty confusing.
Some witnesses suggesting a couple of minutes before police arrived, while others saying 20 minutes. Latter would be a worry if true.
Need to stop coming on the amateur sleuth, and wait for info to arrive.

Complete unprecedented chaos was going on. They probably would've called a special response team and they would have needed to gear up.

I admire his adherence to his 70’s/80’s schtick by adopting the chauvinism that was popular at the time.

I don't think its chauvinistic to like well written movies with good characters that don't breach established lore?

I'm going by the NZ PM's statement, though she might have said licensed and I misinterpreted.

Already seeing the usual American “2A MY BROTHER, YEWWW!” types in various comments sections with their hindsight-hero fantasies of being locked, loaded and ready for the terrorist’s arrival as if they were on active combat patrol in the back of that mosque.

Are... are you talking about Star Wars movies?

 

[raman]

On to the big issues, what the **** is that chat thing up there and why is there a green box with a 2 in it?

Leave me alone.

People are talking about you and what you did. The game is up.

You are no help to me Ben

I assume that's where the chauvinistic remark comes from, given it followed MP's comment, my thoughts of those movies and their lead character? I can't think of anything else I have said that could be construed as chauvinism. Please pull me up if that happens.

That chat thing just needs albumwraps that take a fortnight to download & it's WinMX nostalgia time.

That's one of them

Legalise weed, and use the resultant billions in tax revenue to fund the complete retirement of all fossil fuel power plants and move to 100% renewable energy through grants for battery storage units for every home.

Ban all cotton and rice farms from drawing water from the river system while giving the companies grants to move into other more sustainable forms of agriculture - such as growing weed (which requires **** all water by comparison). There's no reason why the second most arid nation on earth should be growing things that require shitloads of water.

Create a committee of Aboriginal Elders to oversee the environmental portfolio and listen to their advice about how to fix things - if anyone knows the land, they do having lived here for thousands of years.

Heavily invest in science and technology, specifically space and artificial intelligence, which are the new frontiers.

Reduce foreign aid to the point where refugees can be treated humanely and processed more swiftly. No point being charitable elsewhere if you can't be charitable at home.

Encourage investment in jobs by investing in Australian companies that are world class and adhere to quality standards so that Australian goods are seen as some of the best and most advanced in the world. Promote businesses that seek to increase the GDP.

Listen to anyone who had a great idea - who cares if it wasn't mine? We're all in this together. Foster a spirit of co-operation rather than competition.

Basically...just use common sense and govern for the people instead of the minority.

You’re pretty close to me here. I only disagree with worrying much about future tech.

And of course we need to end capitalism

Not enough competition in F1 for my liking. Pretty boring having one guy 20 seconds in front of the rest of the field.

I usually hate it when a safety car gives people who had been well beaten a chance to pinch a race, but one would have made today's race more interesting.

Just leave me a little bit of capitalism and you can have the rest of your stuff.

... did I just hear someone singing Imagine at the Christchurch mosque? Surely not?

Grand ****ing Slam!
Warren Gatland is the rugby equivalent of Bellicheck and Fos.
That is all.

Pro tip: taking two Valium and drinking non-alcoholic beer gives you a good slightly drunk buzz.

Good old WD-40, eh!
