  1. Under the UN Chapter 7, WE…the People of New Zealand have the right to defend ourselves and our property, and yet, to do so leads to a criminal offence.
    Had these gangland crims known that there was an armed resident and citizen on the other side of the broken glass, this burn-out would not have happened.
    Like in the U.S. (despite the massive problems there…) many armed citizens have prevented crimes like this and were able to defend themselves and others before mass shootings could even start.
    The Zionist-owned & controlled J***** MSM will NEVER report on the advantages of being armed…
    Is there a New Zealand Firearms Lawyer who can write an article for the Daily Telegraph NZ with regards to UN Chapter 7 versus New Zealand Firearms Law?????
