'Us & Them' GUN LAW in NZ:

Here's a 'big word' that closely describes our Government's (via the police) attitude to firearms use in New Zealand:

DICHOTOMY.. a difference between two completely opposite ideas or things: There is often a dichotomy between what politicians say and what they do.

The level of violent crime and the threat of terrorism here in New Zealand is perceived currently to be so great that NZ Police are now deploying patrols by specialised armed staff in covert armoured cars.

Note: These Police 'models' Are Wearing "Standard" Uniform
For The Publicity Images:

The weapons available to police law enforcement patrols include 40mm grenade launchers, - H&K sub-machine guns, noise grenades, Bushmaster (type) Military Style Semi-Auto centre-fire rifles and carbines, and Glock 9mm s/a pistols, - Taser high voltage stun guns, body armour, and attack dogs.

Actual NZ Police AOS Officer Kitted-Out in Black Uniform:

Law abiding citizens are denied by police the right to defend themselves with legally owned firearms - indeed we are told by police that our RIGHT to own firearms is a "privilege" and that we should join council run groups to learn "empty handed self defence".

.. Article 7 of our British AND New Zealand Bill Of Rights clearly states:

Bill of Rights 1688 (February 13).

" Subjects’ arms. That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions, and as allowed by law:"

- By the passing of the (NZ) Imperial Laws Application Act 1988 - the British Bill of Rights, unmodified, became part of New Zealand law.

_______________

- So that is the dichotomy .. police claiming themselves to need every available type of portable weapon invented to defend themselves - but at the same time they deny law abiding citizens any such right.

We all should remember that police - together with sheriffs & marshals - are appointed as part of society to deal with law enforcement for that society - Not as a military offensive arm of government to enforce the political aims of that select establishment group.

Basically our NZ police are saying to us "Don't do as I do - Do as I say." .. this is unacceptable.
