Pretty apt description of those who voted for Ardern?
Excerpt : "The vague left, the swing left, the centre-yeah-that-seems-cool left who were dazzled by Labour’s fresh vision for NZ in 2017 and 2020. We were the engine that drove the current government to power. And who, in the years since, have been left out in the back garden to deflate like punctured pool toys. We’re the furious ones. We’re not voting for Chris Hipkins, simply because his Government will forever be our disappointing ex. The one who promised us everything, delivered nothing, and feels like they’ve just been ignoring our broken relationship for the last few years."

So the way this works,
If a firearm is registered to you, and the police ask you where it is, and you don't have it, you are going to have a very plausible explanation why not & whats happened to it.
With the requirements around keeping guns securely locked away when not in use, stolen is not going to pass muster.
As a result, any licenced owner tempted to start filing off the serial number & selling guns to criminals or dodgy unlicensed buyers is going to think twice, as they will be held to account.
Prior to the law, a licence gun owner could hold as many weapons as they want & sell off some to anyone & no one would have a clue.
You enact this law now & in say 10 years time, by 2033, the number of unlicensed weapons circulating on the black market, without serial numbers will be a fraction of the number today.
And NZ will be a lot safer for our kids & grandkids generations.
The way some people are hand-wringing and agonising over their vote you'd think it was their *one* party vote that will decide the whole election. Maybe some will cover their eyes with their hand and let the marker fall where it will, others will be playing eeny meeny miny moe.
Verity Johnson shreiks "JUST VOTE!".....no matter who for. Well, she suggests Green. Or Te Pati Maori.
"God, vote National if you have to."
