Jack Tame is an interviewer I enjoy usually - then I listen to him not know the difference between a firearm action and a firearm magazine, and try to argue the point with someone who does know, and I wonder if I’ve been misled.
Is it the Gell-Mann amnesia effect?
For clarity, McKee talked about lobbying to have high capacity magazines in E-category. The firearms community generally wanted this to happen. The Chch terrorist would never have got them then. Tame confused that with Recommendation 6 of the 2017 report which talked about *types* of semiautomatic firearms not magazines, and which was already able to be addressed by E category. It was an understandable mistake for Tame to make if he isn’t familiar with firearms; what was not understandable is why he didn’t accept the correction.
