From Morning Report, 7:25 am on 29 February 2024

The Prime Minister is refusing to rule out freeing up access to semi-automatic guns.

The government is rewriting the Arms Act this term - changes that may include allowing competitive shooters access to military style guns for sport.

Christopher Luxon came under pressure to spell out his position on the proposal yesterday.
