There is a column on Stuff with a sub-heading: "Violent, sexual and drug offenders are among the thousands of gun owners with convictions".
I haven't read the story which is almost certainly yet another left-wing attempt to justify the removal of more freedoms from innocent New Zealanders.
I do not however doubt the fact stated which is, of course, yet another indication of the depth of incompetence and complete lack of effective leadership within the New Zealand Police Force.
It is NZ Police who control, absolutely, NZ firearms licenses and therefore NZ gun ownership.
I include illegal firearm ownership that has, for so long, been ignored because so many of those illegal owners are gang (and/or special people) related.
The New Zealand Police Force is rotten and needs a complete overhaul - from the head down.
The performance around firearms law and it's compliance m,ay be a good place to start.

Freedom
I refer you to the article on Stuff .co.nz:
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/116407248/refusal-to-publish-nz-academics-book-is-a-worrying-blow-for-free-speech
and a blog post by Karl DuFresne Here. about the article and the terrifying consequences should the left (including the CoL) manage to complete their task of censoring everything they disgree with.
The named academics are obviously learned people, their cause one that should be supported by every correct-thinking New Zealander but I must wonder whether the academics overplay their hand slightly.
Emerald Press are surely not the only publisher in the English-speaking world.
From the article: "Flynn will not be the last New Zealand academic – or the last New Zealander – to have their right to express their views effectively curtailed."
Why can't Mr Flynn simply use another publisher? Publish himself if no one else will?
Do the academics (and Mr DuFresne) weaken their argument, an argument I think is the major dilemma facing man today, by going the shock/horror route rather than just stating facts?

Why is this news?
Stuff.co.nz, breathlessly I'm guessing, announce that some stores are starting to promote the Xmas period.
At the end of September.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/116110624/christmas-decorations-and-advent-calendars-have-arrived-at-stores
Why?
Why do commercial decisions and timing of annual promotions have anything to do with news or anyone else except those businesses and their customers?
Was a store to start putting Xmas items up in it's store on 27 December this may be news in the "today's funnies" column but other that is, in fact, of no interest at all.
Nor is the "fact" (this is a slime report so by definition remains suspect) that some stores are starting their Xmas promotions now.
I can only assume that Stuff.co.nz are now so incompetent that the problems within the Labour Party re sexual assault, the problems farmers face providing our nation with export earnings and the problems NZ people face with an unlead, disgracefully performing government removing freedom of thought and expression from ALL New Zealanders are not important enough (in the Slime's view), to fill news content.
I disagree!
