Comrades, we have banned an obsessive Gun Nut who has turned to insinuating violence against the Editor.
This is the third ban we’ve ever done, the first were a group of Trans activists who threatened the Editors family, the second was a South Island extremist who made death threats against the Editor and this obsessive gun nut is the 3rd one we’ve banned.
If you don’t receive this kind of harassment, you aren’t doing your job, but obsessive gun nuts are a breed on their own and we will contact Police to ensure there is a complaint process we can point to if anything occurs.
We bend over backwards to allow you to have free speech on this blog, we draw the line at threats, violence and pointlessly labouring ZB talking points.

Not Eric? I hope not, I use Eric as a cautionary tale for friends and whanau…
Maybe now you’ll bring some balance to the subject too. Your rants have been considered a bit of a joke.
Let me get this straight Dave.
Because an obsessive gun nut has claimed antiGun voices are harassed out of New Zealand and follows that up by stating they have met me without my knowledge of who they are and then continues obsessive posting – that’s acceptable is it?
You gun fetishists will justify any tactics to bully your way into the debate.
Go fuck yourself.
You can take this blog out of my dead cold hands.
Well said BOMBER.
“A bit of a joke”. By who Dave? You and David Tipple?
Offer an argument Dave, if you have one? Otherwise you are just ranting.
There seems little point on this site.
Well if you feel you have a point share it.
Outing yourself there Dave
Sorry to hear Martyn.
I’m not in agreement with your stance on firearms but anyone making threats on any topic is way out of line.
May you and yours be safe and I hope the police follow this up.
If the person is a license holder, they aren’t likely to be for much longer.
This is just austerity in action. Erik’s twenty-plus sentence-long posts on any post mentioning firearms have to have made up the vast majority of moderator workload. With cuts to spend on moderator pay of over 40%, some commentators had to go.
As a part of the gun licensing procedure the applicant must first take good MDMA then look deeply into the eyes of the target animal.
Completely understandable Martyn under the circumstances.
It amuses me that Right wing nut jobs come to a left wing blog and are horrified to read commentary that upsets them. They then post in indignation (and, usually, ignorance) lashing out at their perceived enemies (us, the underpaid and unpaid exploited classes of NZ this blog gives voice to).
I hate to think of the comments that get moderated out, given you already generously allow a lot of marginal stuff to be published by these hateful souls.
Martyn – Very sorry to learn this…Having a robust debate is one thing, threatening harm to someone is another. Scary, and not on.
Wow creepy as fuck, I hope that you complain to the police and they investigate. Especially to find out whoever it is that threatened you has a gun and licence.
You can report the person to Police through the 105 portal. https://www.police.govt.nz/use-105 Please do so, as it is important that Police know about licence holders engaging in threatening behaviour.
Please get in touch via the Gun Control NZ website, if you need any help with the process or escalation.
