Along the way, though, what the committee was expected to do, and to report on, was to make life a bit tougher for those who already follow the law. For instance, clubs and ranges—which the regulatory impact statement from officials showed very clearly have no history in New Zealand of a problem at all—suddenly are expected to have administrative processes and burden placed upon them—on groups, small groups, of volunteers—that threaten, in some cases, the very existence of those clubs and ranges. The worst point of all about that is that they are the safest areas for firearms use in the country. They are already regulated by rules of shooting bodies, because most of them—not all of them, but most of them—participate in some sort of sports shooting activity. It could be pistol, it could be 3-gun, it used to—until the law changed—be service rifle, and others. But none the less, those clubs and ranges are the best managed and the best regulated through their club arrangements. Instead, the Government just wants to layer more on them. It's not going to make anyone safer—it's not—because people aren't unsafe in those environments in the first place.
