    Sad data to say the least.
    However it is not off topic, this is nzgeneral, any topic can be started here, it does not have to be about NZ since most international trends are of interest to us, and once started the OP can take it wherever he/she wants.

    And there you go again, making up rules that you ignore yourself. You
    are not the OP - according to your rules Tony you should not have
    changed the topic to what the OP is entitled to do . . .

    You are an idiot. This is a general newsgroup and that means the OP can post anything they want. But, no, Rich wants to restrtict that. Right!
    I did not change the topic, I followed the OPs comment.
    I have attempted to make no rules, you are the one doing that. Now fuck off to your cesspit you call your life..

    You are not the OP, Tony, but you were trying to do what you tell
    other people they are not allowed to do. You are of course wrong,
    anyone can lead the discussion into different tracks, but you appear
    to arrogantly presume that you are the setter of rules for Usenet . .

    Now the changes in the law will not stop all gun crime, that needs

    The OP wrote that it was off topic, I disagreed. Stop telling other people what to do you moron.
    I have told nobody what to do - you have./

    You are off topic, not me.
