firearms law changes in NZ

[motto (RIP)]

I grew up in the same world you did Ron.
A time when if you were over 18 yo you could legally walk into a sports store and walk out with a self loading .22 or 12 gauge.
The various sickos have given the authorities all the justification they need to disarm the average citizen or severely restrict access to firearms and yet we have more shootings than ever.
All of this has been foreseen and even planned. A gun dealer friend of mine was at a meeting with government officials many years ago and one of the officials stated,'What about you Mr XXXX, in event of public unrest you could arm a large number of people'.
My friend didn't ask the obvious question. What are you planning that will cause civil unrest?
We have since found out. Nothing stresses a population like the sacred cow called multiculturalism being rammed down your throat. Welcome to the globalist utopia.
