It is a FACT that the only weapons in New Zealand are those held by the New Zealand Government via the Police & 'Defence Forces' - licensed collectors - plus a few unlawfully held by violent criminals such as 'Gangs' and the security officers of visiting foreign statesmen.
- Just hold that fact in your brain's forefront ...
All other legally held firearms are permitted sporting arms owned by fit & proper Firearms Licence Holders.
.. In reply to my 2019 Official Information Act enquiry Superintendent Andrew Sissons of the NZ POLICE stated that they have:
NZ POLICE WEAPONS:
3,021 x GLOCK Auto-PISTOLS.
2,913 x AR15 (TYPE) MSSA RIFLES.
53 x Semi-Automatic MARKSMAN RIFLES.
10 x Bolt Action MARKSMAN RIFLES.
74 x Firearms Capable Of Fully Automatic Fire - SUB-MACHINE GUNS.
40 x Grenade Launchers - for GAS GRENADES & SPONGE ROUNDS.
Our NZ 9,400 odd Government Military Forces & SAS have their Glocks and M16 rifles plus a variety of other more potent weaponry ..
A military or armed forces is an armed force primarily intended for warfare, - but our PR guided governments are advised to refer to their military as "Defence Forces". - For much of military history, the armed forces were considered to be for use by the crowned heads of their society. - But in a democracy the military would be run in the public interest - as a public force.
- I'd like to also remind you that New Zealand is a 'Constitutional Monarchy' .. not a democracy.
____________________
The police force is armed only for the sole purpose of defending the public and police personnel themselves from life threatening acts. - There is no other justification for police weaponry than that common law right to self defence - which applies to all citizens.
This is FACT - not opinion or perception.
