How did they come to that conclusion? There's two possible theories here: either the Labour Party were actually deliberately trying to impugn people who support this bill as having racial motives, even though they don't, and they were doing that for political reasons—trying to impugn the character of others—or they genuinely believe that Māori and Pacific people, as they mention, are more likely to be members of gangs, and, therefore, if you follow their logic, it would be wrong to put firearm prohibition orders on gang members because it would affect more people who are Māori and Pacific.
