Trop de Paris!
OPINION: Your old mate's ear has been chewed off recently by farmers voicing their displeasure with the National Party, particularly relating to how they're treating their farmer base.
It turns out she has focused on easing the regulatory burden on gun clubs and licensed firearms owners, removing some reporting requirements for gun clubs, which had been introduced after the Christchurch terror attacks.
These requirements were intended to enhance oversight but had been criticised as adding unnecessary bureaucracy, without improving safety.
Statistics show that gun crime kept rising after then-Minister Stuart Nash's knee-jerk response to the terror attack, penalising responsible gun owners for no gain in safety.
Turns out the bad guys didn't feel like complying with Nashy's rushed set of laws.
McKee is shooting for a more reasonable middle-ground.
