Bullies Win: Weapons Expo Closed Down

It is a very strange world that we live in when a Weapons Expo that sells weapons to the NZ Armed Forces is successfully shut down by activists that include government politicians. These Bullies have demonised all weapons as evil. What do they propose that our armed forces use to
