More of this please.
Having said that, I'm not endorsing anything in McKee's refactored Arms Act. I haven't seen the detail yet.
But I know people who are urban historical collectors, and rural gun owners, and a few that were raided and arrested in Operation 8. So despite being a committed pacifist and vegan, I don't disagree that previous versions of the Arms Act haven't got the balance right between harm reduction and respect for civil liberties.

"... committed a full 6 month select committee process, to hear public feedback on what she's put up."

Unlike many of her NatACT First colleagues, who are happy to bulldoze their deeply unpopular bills through Parliament (*cough* Regulatory Standards Bill *cough*). Blatantly misusing urgency conventions, intended for use in emergency situations like natural disasters, pandemics, or wars.
