Thanks for the vid(s). Very interesting stuff. I remember watching your original 'talking head' video about this same subject. Quick question on your E class firearms, or NFA/Class 3 as we have here in the US. You said that you can only transport them to certain places, and mentioned that you can't shoot them. So did I understand that correctly? You can own them, but are never allowed to shoot them? There isn't a special place you can take them to shoot?

@cookec Sadly, No. You cannot shoot 'C' Cat firearms anywhere.

Thanks Ted that was fucking interesting, almost the same shit gun laws in South Africa.

@francoisdevilliers2 Man, If I lived in SA, with the violent crime you guys have to put up with - i'd be carrying my MG42 everywhere with me.

Thanks Ted that was interesting.

It reinforces my conclusions that while NZ and Australia's gun laws are shithouse at least one can still own them if your willing to jump through the hoops. Unlike over here in the UK which is the ban the gun bedwetters paradise

[kiwitedferny]

@ExiledOzi Yes. Does the 'average' person feel 'safer' now that the guns are gone?

[flytyer232]

there is a house for sale down the street ( Midwest of the U.S.), maybe you should move. why would you stay in New Zealand if the laws are against your way of life?

Ted...thank you so much for this presentation. I myself living in Hawaii at the momment, am a firearms owner. My wife is from Auckland and I have always been curious to what the gunlaws are like there. I was very astonished with all your vids and they were great!!! My wife has always bugged me on living there for a bit as well, my only wish was to transport my AK-47s and mossberg 12 ga. there but I guess it aint happening. I salute your determination as an enthusist...thank you again.

@kiwitedferny I watched all your vids about your gun laws and was wondering why you would go through all the paperwork to own some gun you can never shoot, couldn't you get a dummy/display gun or are those illegal/non-existent there?

[cookec]

@kiwitedferny That's really unfortunate. I would love to own some of the WWII firearms you have collected, but to not be able to shoot them is a tragedy. Kudos to you for putting so much passion into your collection regardless of that hindrance.

Ted, we'll keep the lights on in the good ol' USA for ya :)

What about sound suppressors and short barrelled rifles and shotguns?

[crispyglove]

Any law that disarms the populace or punishes self defense is unjust. As MLK wrote "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws".

[EasyStations]

That was a rather nice lecture. If the lectures at school were about firearms, or loosely on them, I probably would have finished it

[scottishwun]

is there no leniency on drunk driving offencences will they not approve your licence at all or does it depend on the arms officer???
