Keep military-styled firearms off our streets – Labour

For over five years, military-style semi-automatic weapons have been banned in New Zealand. Labour made the change with near-unanimous support following the tragic events of March 15.

Nobody needs a gun that powerful. This ban helps to protect people, and alongside the introduction of the firearms registry will mean New Zealand is a safer place.

But now the Government wants to rewrite New Zealand’s firearms law and regulations. They’ve said they will take another look at the ban, and the firearms registry. Nicole McKee is doing this review right now.

The safety of our communities, frontline police officers and future generations must be a priority.
