There’s a belief New Zealanders are no safer than they were before changes to the gun laws.
A rewrite of the Arms Act simplifies rules for licensed owners for storage, repairs and visitor use, and adds harsher penalties.
Gang members also won't be able to own a gun and semi-automatics will stay banned.
