Clearly. The government is meant to serve the people's interests, not the other way around.

Well we know the law change is not about public safety. If it was about safety we would see a forceful effort to disarm the gangs and criminals-not further restrict the law abiding.

Since the 1992 amendment that reclassified certain rifles as "MSSA" when was the last shooting crime carried out by a license holder using a MSSA style rifle. The last shooting using a MSSA style rifle that I can remember was Jan Moliner in Napier-who was unlicensed.

Maybe the issue is about control and as Ryan said "payback" for the Police losing in a high court case.

In the USA the current proposed "assult" Rifle Ban is again not about public safety, as overall only 2% of shooting crimes committed in the USA were carried out with "assult" style rifles (Congressional research study). The vast majority of shootings in the US are with handguns in the possession of the criminal fraternity.

Its more about control than public safety. With a bit of a "I don't like them guns, so why should you", mentality thrown in the mix.

Cheers.

That is the funniest god damn thing i have heard for a long time. The governments job is to assert control on the people, period.
