Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Again, the member made the same argument about banning military-style semi-automatic weapons. I disagreed with him then, and I disagree with him now. If he believes that this country is not safer for having taken 60,000 weapons out of circulation, then that is for the member. I personally believe it has made a difference, as has removing 500 weapons out of the hands of those who would chose to use them for illegal use. The gun register also helps the police track the ownership and movement of guns that are stolen or illegally sold. Now, again, if the Police Association claim that this is going to make a difference, then I would be inclined to believe them.
