Well you have been fortunate (not) to have been lectured by our lying POS Prime Minister that all is well in New Zealand because she has banned MSSA weapons...in fact she has attacked law abiding gun owners because they are an easy target. What Colbert and other sycophants dont realise is that...
Dont order the lens though as these do not have the same hole centres as our vintage boats. I found out the hard way but they were good about it, offering a credit. They will not supply blanks either.

Weather is very changeable in this part of the Pacific with...
