The only reason we seem to have retained our rights is that no political group or party have really taken up an anti gun agenda.
There are small groups of people that are anti guns and hunting, but so far they don't have much of a following.
Unfortunately more and more people are leaving rural areas and moving to the cities, so even people that may once have owned rifles are not really shooting anymore.
Thankfully the cities do have a few shooting clubs with some full of new members which is promising.
New Zealand has had guns and hunting deeply rooted in its culture, but with most cities growing much much faster than rural communities and people getting soft, I don't know what the future of our gun culture is.
