This is all part of a much bigger push to make the average Kiwi citizen more pliable and compliant to forthcoming social engineering. Oh...but if you are a gang member...none of this applies to you.

My take: there's going to be an awful lot of 'pest control' being undertaken by mates of farmers on their private property.

But I like shooting targets.
I don't want to be setting gongs and cans up every time I shoot.
