Interesting news from the New Zealand Herald:
Mongrel Mob leader says members won't hand in their guns
Gang members will not be handing in their guns following the law reform announced by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a Mongrel Mob leader has said.
Sonny Fatu, president of the Waikato branch of the Mongrel Mob, said that, while some members of the gang may have illegal guns, they will not be handing them in as they are necessary to their protection.
"Will gangs get rid of their weapons? No. Because of who we are, we can't guarantee our own safety," he told Stuff.
He admitted many of the gang's estimated 1000 associates hold illegal firearms but says they should be trusted not to harm innocent people.
"It's not in our culture to inflict harm on innocent people like what happened in Christchurch," Fatu said.
Again, public shootings are always perpetuated by mentally ill people and we are failing to address this. Sane gun owners never do something like that. A bit more:
Members of the Mongrel Mob and Black Power gangs have had public displays of solidarity with the victims, including guarding mosques while Muslim people prayed.
