  • ACT MP Responsible For Revocation Of Brian Tamaki?s Gun Licence!?

    From Lawrence D?Oliveiro@3:633/10 to All on Monday, June 29, 2026 23:07:00
    So, after Blowhard Brian spouted some incitements to violence online,
    he got raided by the cops, who took away his guns and revoked his
    licence to have them <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/police-seize-destiny-church-leader-brian-tamakis-firearms-and-revoke-gun-licence-after-incendiary-online-comments/BPC2WWUWZVGZHHPHZXCTVLS2Z4/>.

    Interestingly, it was an ACT MP who owned up to complaining to the
    police about him. But I thought the ACT folks were pro-gun? How do
    they feel about being responsible for some so-called ?law-abiding
    citizen? losing their freedom to brandish weaponry?

    (Not to mention being pro-?freedom-of-speech? ... seems there are
    limits to that among right-wingers, eh?)

    But maybe not pro-violence.

    Pretty good is it reduces the chances of a death.

    Yes, The Freedom of speech does have limits.
