For those that are unaware there was a dindu nuffin (complete with prior prison sentence in the max security wing of one of our hardest prisons) who shot at 4 officers doing a sweep for marijuana in forestry with a shotgun and .22lr rifle after they presumably found his plantation.
The dindu (who again, dindu nuffin) then had an armed standoff with police which lasted for 22 hours before surrendering (embed related).

Following this several opposition members of parliament from the Greens (environmental commies) have said that we need more gun control including mandatory registration for all firearms, current police and corrections minister (a woman) has come out and said that we dont need more gun control since
>similar regimes overseas have proven “very ineffective and very expensive”, while doing little to stop criminals accessing guns
and
>"All that will do is add a huge amount of work to police…for very little outcome, because all the people who are legally in charge of firearms would go and register them, and all the criminals wouldn’t."
Instead she feels that the best way to combat gun crime would be to give police greater ability to search the homes of people convicted of prior firearms offenses
>Instead she favours a regime of firearm prohibition orders, currently being developed, which would allow police to search the homes of those with previous gun offences to ensure they did not have any weapons.
So /k/, it seems that the person who will ultimately gave to sign into law any more gun control in NZ says that further gun control wont work at stopping gun crime, thoughts?
