Nicole McKee: ACT's Firearms Reforms spokesperson on just two Firearm Prohibition Orders issued since introduction

ACT has slammed the Government's gun laws, labelling them as a "major let down."

Newstalk ZB can reveal only two Firearms Prohibition Orders have been issued since they were introduced last November.

The FPOs were billed as a way to target violent criminals, banning those with a history of offending from being anywhere near a gun.

Act Firearms Reforms Spokesperson Nicole McKee told Mike Hosking every firearms law passed by Labour has been "knee jerk."

She says there needs to be a more practical approach that works alongside the firearms community.
