Press Release – ACT New Zealand
“Another week and New Zealand’s months-long spate of gun crime continues,” says ACT Firearms Reform spokesperson Nicole McKee.
“Much of this violent activity is gang-related, using illegal firearms.
“The Government simply doesn’t have a plan to address it – only ACT does.
“Last week it was arming Police in Canterbury because of expected gang retribution.
“Today we’ve got drive-by shootings in Auckland and properties being sprayed with shotgun pellets in Wellington, but still the Government is completely silent on this long-term pattern.
“Innocent bystanders will be killed soon. It’s only a matter of time.
