Gun City managing director, David Tipple, who has confirmed that four firearms were purchased by the alleged gunman from its stores, is telling the press conference that Gun City did not sell the rifle used in the incident.
“I watched the video and saw the rifle... and it was not from any Gun City-affiliated store,” he said.
However, Tipple said he was not able to verify whether the shotgun used was bought from Gun City.
Tipple says all sales to the alleged gunman were online sales, over three or four orders, the first of which was about a month after the alleged gunman gained his gun license and the last was in March 2018.
Tipple is resisting attempts from journalists to ask about gun laws.
“This particular day is not about the gun debate,” said Tipple, despite the fact that Jacinda Ardern’s cabinet is currently meeting to discuss changing gun laws.
“Today, let’s talk about how these families are dealing with these tragedies committed by this madman.”
“This man wrote in his manifesto that the purpose of using a firearm was to divide us. If we allow him to make changes in our ideology and our behaviour, he has won.”
Tipple adds: “I had my grandson say to me: ‘Granddad, why do people think the guns were the problem? The guy was crazy.’ He is six years old.”
The alleged gunman bought four “A category” firearms and ammunition from Gun City online, said David Tipple, managing director of the store.The alleged gunman bought four “A category” firearms and ammunition from Gun City online, said David Tipple, managing director of the store.
