In the aftermath of Aramoana, and a number of other incidents since, I would have thought YES to be honest! How many times must this happen with someone identified as unstable and the use of firearms? Proactive rather than reactive action is required. The result of waiting for something to happen is not good and usually results in some knee jerk reaction to create ineffective measures that will not lower the likelihood of a similar event in the future. If our boarder security can quickly profile likely candidates for a check then surely Police should be able to as well, even if it requires a request for a search warrant? At least Police would be able to say they tried.
