A 67-year-old man has been arrested and charged with numerous offences following a search warrant in Dunedin this week.
On Monday 4 March, Southern District Organised Crime Squad, with the assistance of New Zealand Customs, executed Operation Rubus – an investigation into controlled drug offending within the Southern District.
During the search warrant, Police seized two firearms, ammunition, controlled drugs, controlled drug utensils, stun guns, and cash.
The man appeared in Dunedin District Court the same day, charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, three counts of unlawful possession of a restricted weapon, two counts of failing to provide the passcode to a cell phone and driving while licence suspended. He has been remanded in custody to next appear on 26 March 2024.
‘Controlled drug distribution continues to have a significant negative impact on families in our communities. Those involved in controlled drug distribution will continue to be targeted by Police,’ said Detective Senior Sergeant Nik Leigh in a statement.
This just goes to show that:
“IF GUNS WERE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WOULD HAVE GUNS!”
In the meantime, law-abiding Firearms Owners are having more and more restrictions imposed upon them.
O.K. Coalition Government- restore our Rights to Firearms (Semi-Auto, MSSA’s, and Pistols) that you campaigned on, so that we can defend ourselves against such criminals, and comply with the ‘United Nations Right to Self Defence under Chapter 7 Article 51’ that New Zealand signed on to.
Such firearms will be needed to defend New Zealand against a foreign invader.
This is why the Massey University study into Armed Neutrality has focused legitimacy.
