Press release. 20/12/2019 NZ Outdoors Party.
Thousands of Law Abiding Citizens Will Become Criminals From Today Onwards.
“After today thousands of law abiding New Zealanders will become
criminals and face up to 7 years jail for possessing what was a lawful
and authorised firearm”. Alan Simmons co leader of the NZ Outdoors Party
said “The police attitude is threatening and intimidating with TV
adverts depicting people heading off to court. The police and the
Government need to take a long hard look at themselves. Less than half
of the Semi Automatics have been handed in and for the police to now
make threats of raids, prosecution and jail for honest citizens smacks
of Tyranny.”
“Obviously the gun buy back has not worked as they had hoped so to
now threaten people shows a desperation by a government well out of its
depth” said Alan ” The NZ Outdoors Party will seek to reinstate what is
left of sensible gun laws at next years general election. Many of the
valuable treasured family antique firearms will have been destroyed by
the police in their race to disarm law abiding farmers and hunters,
leaving only criminals and police armed. Their rushed and excessive
response to police enforcement failures has turned responsible Outdoors
people against the Government and shown a complete disregard for
peaceful law abiding citizens.
The Outdoors Party supports the call for extending the arms amnesty
until after the 2020 election. This whole saga is one of many examples
of this government’s lack of respect for democracy and the rights of
people. Restraining government abuse of power is shaping up to be one of
the big issues of next year’s election. “
