This bill presents to the House firearms prohibition orders as an additional tool to reduce gun crime. The bill provides an important new way for New Zealand to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, and to keep our communities safe. This bill will ensure that a person subject to a firearms prohibition order will not be able to use, access, or be around guns. Unless a court order says otherwise, they also will not be able to live in or visit locations where there are firearms, or associate with someone who has them.
