Yep gut the RMA and gut the Councils

Lots of state houses and pensioner flats. If they keep saying how great they are at up grading HNZ houses and building shiny new ones, (which they are doing at the moment) people wont care about the load they will bulldoze. Arrogance.

Wait. The guy snapped because sometimes when the police raid houses (but not this time) they kick in doors, and he resents that?
No, I was trying to show how resentment begins with some who don't like the police. I noted further up in trying to ascertain his thought process, that something we don't know about could have triggered his action, e.g steroid rage which popped into my head after someone who does know about that mentioned his physical stature. Hell, I don't know why he flipped. I do think we should have a look at the bigger story behind our acceptance and use of weed. A large group in this country smoke a bit of weed, no intention to break laws and as Matthew so rightfully points out, the majority of responsible gun owners do so without a problem so, if the majority of pot smokers do so without a problem, lets look at the law. I know the cops are only enforcing the law.

I wonder what compensation Auckland City Council will want for all this loss of open space?
What compensation? They are getting rid of that thing( the little Auckland City Council) Restructuring going on, you know, never mind that they don't know how much that will cost. The plebs can pay with their rates. Simple.

You want some comedy?
How about Christine Rankin being appointed as a Families Commissioner?
How about moving out the back staff onto the front line dole queue?

I don't think they kicked in the door. Let's keep it real, the guy snapped, as far as we know he wasn't pushed into it at all.
But as you just said that is a tactic they deploy, and being on the receiving end of exactly that ( and having to repair the door afterwards, when they got it wrong) can lead to resentment of the police.
come to his house for an entirely different reason.
The trigger point isn't drug laws, it's a person who has a cache of firearms and starts firing at police officers under any circumstances. Take away the drug laws, you still have an unstable person with guns. That's the concern.
Well, one wouldn't know that to be so Kyle.I have to agree with nz native about prohibition laws.They didn't seem to work in the States and many police died as a consequence of them.

Sure, I just can't get my head around why a guy who lives half a century suddenly unleashes that rage.
Roid Rage has examples of ths sort of behaviour. Jus' Sayin'

Sofie- I'd call it a rather usual set of equipment* for rural dwellers-
I appreciate you revealing how common it is to use guns. We do not expect the police to have guns. we expect gangs to have a few and any hydro op in someones garage in a house with a gang issue will mean they want protection. Guns is what the gang know. guns is what Jan had to look after himself. IMO
