Poll: Do you agree with the new firearm rules in schools?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Students are no longer able to hold or shoot army guns at school under new government guidelines.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?

I'm your No 1 fan

Stu Hunt Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Tribute band The Bootleg Beach Boys are coming to Nelson and it reminds of someone I know who would probably consider himself New Zealand's biggest Beach Boys fan. I love this this idea that a band or an artist can inspire such complete devotion. Are you a borderline obsessive fan?

I love this this idea that a band or an artist can inspire such complete devotion. Are you a borderline obsessive fan? Have you built a shrine to your idol? Formed a fan club? Have you met them? We'd love to hear about it.

Hi, I'm a astronomer helping out at the Cawthron observatory which is at Clifton terrace school. We had a fantastic night last Friday with over 100 people viewing the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Several deep sky objects were also viewed. The new 14inch scope gives very impressive views.… View moreHi, I'm a astronomer helping out at the Cawthron observatory which is at Clifton terrace school. We had a fantastic night last Friday with over 100 people viewing the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Several deep sky objects were also viewed. The new 14inch scope gives very impressive views. We also had a couple of 8inch scopes which are also nice to use. This coming Friday will be good as Mars is at it's closest for 15years hence much bigger in the scopes than usual although to be honest nothing beats Saturn through the big scope. 7-9pm. Your better off coming at 8pm or so as there will be less people. The astronomical society charges $5 per person or $15 family which covers maintenance, power insurance etc.
