Gun show can't get a plug in its local paper

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 1 November 2019

Organisers of a gun show selling legal antique firearms can't get a plug in their local paper due to a ban on all firearms content.

The news website Stuff put a blanket-ban in place across all its national mastheads on any advertisement selling guns or promoting gun shows in the wake of the Christchurch terror attacks.

But organisers of the Taranaki Gun Show say they're historians, researchers and that the show isn't just guns but militaria and memorabilia.

Morning Report producer Jeremy Wilkinson has more.
