What happened in Christchurch on the ides of March 2019 has caused this country to mourn the loss of innocence, of lives, and of peace as we knew it. The first tranche of legislation that immediately followed did not bring us together; it drove a wedge through parts of New Zealand society, not for the banning of guns but for the blame that was directed at the law-abiding and the way in which it was conducted. The second tranche was also rushed through, and this confirmed the Government's attack was aimed at those that comply with the law—whitewashing the failure of police's own processes and procedures in giving a foreign-national terrorist a firearms licence in the first place. The rushed legislation was followed by rushed policy implementation, regulations, and mountains of errors.
