How insane are the ACT Party? Honestly? Their solution to crime is to arm every shop keeper with a sawn off shotgun???

“Criminals are well aware that shopkeepers are defenceless and are taking advantage of this in brutal robberies. What Act proposes here should reassure the shopkeepers of New Zealand.

“Act says it will not be illegal for a shopkeeper to keep a weapon in their own shop.”

  1. This is a very odd policy. Not many shopkeepers want the responsibility of a gun licence, pay the fees, own a gun, keep a gun safe from kids. Not many cops want civilian shopkeepers to keep a gun in their shops.

    Wtf advises ACT? They aren’t on Planet Key. They are on Planet Rambo.

  2. Extraordinarily poorly thought out policy. Violent offenders would only be quicker off the mark to attack, before their victim had a chance to respond. Weapons would be targeted alongside cigarettes in late night break-ins, unless shopkeepers were to carry the weapon home from the premises daily, which is also not a desirable outcome.

    I think ACT are now just brainstorming (a laughable concept if ever there was one) and pulling folded bits of paper out of a hat and calling them policies.

  3. it seems like ACT just rips a page out of the American Republican Party’s playbook every time they say something..
