Abstract:
Gun control is a pressing issue in Aotearoa New Zealand that has garnered the attention of policymakers and the general public. Given the physical and social harms that guns potentiate, healthcare workers in Aotearoa New Zealand have a critical role in analysing and advocating for evidence-based legislation to ensure low levels of gun-related harm.We reviewed the historical and contemporary circumstances that have created the societal and legislative landscape of gun culture in Aotearoa New Zealand. The current Coalition Government is undertaking a review of the Arms Act, which could lead to weakening of current gun legislation.We, as healthcare providers, advocate for an evidence-based approach in relation to gun laws in Aotearoa New Zealand. Ongoing monitoring, evaluation and adaptation of gun control regulation is essential to ensure effectiveness and responsiveness to evolving challenges.
