You are quite right, I apologise, shouldn't have responded in kind.

You are looking at the element of law all wrong, you can't apply emotion nor opinion to one particular law that doesn't apply to them all. That's not how Law works. The process to change any amendment is the same regardless of its context or your personal opinion / interpretation of it. That...

That would be your interpretation, I never said those words. I asked for rational solutions within the context of the law, it isn't easy at all. The 'nonsense' is simply saying 'change the constitution' and that its a 'piece of paper'.... those are opinions that do not reflect the reality of...

You can say that about any founding law or principle. As above, you don't have to agree with it, but you cannot ignore it and wish that it was the way you think it ought to be. Its the founding basis of the country, all of its laws and principles are defined by it and derived from it. You may...

Correct, but you are assuming that 'people' all share the same viewpoint as yourself. That is not true whether you agree with it or not. Look up what it takes to change the constitution and why it hasn't been done many times.

Space travel wasn't protected nor prohibited by the constitution, neither were technological advances in aeronautics or health sciences ;o)

I agree with some of the other posts, they are prospects who can definitely have impact on the field, we just have to be careful we don't put too much expectation and pressure on them early doors so they crumble. Gomes looked like Hazard moving forwards last night, small, nimble and quick feet...

That is some in-depth analysis, fair play for that effort!

I think the captain moniker is more of a symbol and to give some seniority in the dressing room. Personally I think he is well past his prime and needs to be spelled in and out of the team. I am appreciative of his work ethic over the years but his a liability at times, proven by a number of...

The constitution is the constitution, in order for it to be changed it requires a nigh on impossible process. Whether you agree with that process or not is moot, it is the process never the less. I am not surprised by the comments no, however, you cannot make a stand based around 'rational...

I understand the perspective, but this would require a change in the constitution, that is no simple nor easy task... and that is the point i'm trying to make. I agree that something like the above would eventually yield some element of positive results (although the last Assault Weapon Ban did...

Not a cop out at all, just simply calling out the elephant in the room. People are quick to criticise but then offer little to no way of remedying the issue other than illogical ideals that would never work given the context. There is no way of tracing firearms, there are no registries, tracing...

That wasn't the connotation of the statement, however, in the same breath suggest real world solutions that will work given the context of where we are at. Feel good emotive responses that have zero impact on the intended audience does exactly what it says on the tin. No one is condoning...

It's all well and good saying 'gun control' and 'banning guns' but how do you retrieve the 300 million plus guns already in circulation? There are no registries, there are no records to say where it is or who has it, just the point of sale transaction. New Zealand are currently dealing with the...

He's a great signing. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise? Solid, strong and dangerous in the box. He's a Steve Bruce Gary Pallister hybrid.... perhaps with the speed to match sadly ;o)
