³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ supports firearms reform

The New Zealand ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Party

Leader of the Opposition Simon Bridges has welcomed the changes proposed by the Government today to reform our firearms legislation.

“The terrorist attack in Christchurch last week has changed us as a nation.

“³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ has been clear since this devastating attack that we support changes to our regime and that we will work constructively with the Government.

“We agree that the public doesn’t need access to military style semi-automatic weapons. ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ supports them being banned along with assault rifles.

“We also support the Government’s proposals to limit the access to other high powered semi-automatic weapons and ammunition.

“We remain committed to ensuring the safety of New Zealanders and fighting extremism in all forms.

“³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ will work constructively with the Government to ensure we get this right.”
