"To make our community safer, the time to act is now."
University of Waikato International Law Professor Alexander Gillespie :
"All firearms are a risk, but some [semi-automatic] are a much greater risk than others," he said. "It’s absolutely not about banning guns—it’s about banning that high-risk gun.” [Seriously?!]
"To make our community safer, the time to act is now," she [Prime Minister] said. "I want to remind people, you can surrender your gun to the police at any time. In fact, I have seen reports that people are in fact already doing this. I applaud that effort, and if you are thinking about surrendering your weapon, I would encourage you to do so."
