Protecting Responsible Firearms Ownership in New Zealand

Latest Penalties for Illegal Possession of a Firearm

Cahill of the crooked Police Union has recently made the outrageous claim that thousands of Police were threatened by firearms last year.

The Kiwi Gun Blog then had the real Police confirm that there were only 18 arrests for this crime over that period. With many offenders having toy guns. Twelve were prosecuted.

It now turns out that there were only nine convictions resulting.

This means that there has been no increase in this offense for DECADES.

Despite more guns in the nation and a dramatic rise in population.

So lets now look at an update of statistics for those charged with illegal possession of a firearm….

OK…

Now what was their punishment?

So the majority avoid incarceration. The penalty is usually less than a year AND will often be served concurrently with other offending. So they basically get no time at all.

Some criminals had to pay $500! The punishment! For possessing a stolen rife worth two grand. Hmmmm.

Cahill’s crooked union has confirmed why they never push for harsher penalties. Because their Labour party friends wont support it.

So now the interests of front line officers are being better served by the gun lobby than by their own union.

Strange days.

    Nice touch putting Manson’s pic at the top of the page! Really rams home the predilection for MSM to put such pictures above firearms “stories” …

    What your enquiry has shown is that the Arms Act needs to be completely repealed. Gone forever. It serves no point apart from a threat and punishment to citizens who wish to have access to the means to self defence.
    It should not be an offence to possess a firearm. It is an offence to steal, threaten, or cause harm to another, which are crimes amply covered by the Crimes Act.
    Your fixation that firearms should only be in the possession of those who are authorized by the state is a dangerous fantasy that logically leads to the state not authorizing any possession except by its servants.
    Wake up, and move onto the real problem of crime, its causes and punishment.
    Firearms legislation is merely the exercise of power and control.

      Oh right. Silly us. So we will just suggest a full libertarian agenda to a communist government. Fuck we feel silly. Its so obvious now that you have said it. Step one is to cling to what we still have. Then build numbers to become political. Then start to reclaim lost rights.
