Police Minister Nash wants to pass his Bill with less than 6% public support - because some police want it ..

I've heard police spokespersons say that they are New Zealand's BIGGEST GANG - which makes sense, as our lesser criminal gangs appear also to have plenty of influence and consultations ..

Methinks that New Zealand's 246,000 "compliant" shooters and gun owners outnumber the 9,000 police even if they join with the drugs supply "biker" gang chapters ..

So what's the difference between a 'gang' and a 'lobby' ? 😏

.. I know .. gangs have a patch that they wear on proper occasions .. when they want to have influence & 'authority' - like a police shoulder patch eh.
