Kash Patel's Toy Gun Gifts to New Zealand Officials

Kash Patel's Toy Gun Gifts to New Zealand Officials

Kash Patel, a high-ranking official from the FBI, gave some New Zealand officials toy-like 3D-printed guns as gifts.

These guns were inspired by Nerf toys and are popular among hobbyists.

However, in New Zealand, even toy guns like these are considered real firearms and require special permits to own.

The officials who received the guns had to give them up because they didn't have the right permits.

The guns were then destroyed.

Some people think these kinds of guns are dangerous because they could be made to work and used in crimes, or they could explode because they aren't safe.

New Zealand has strict gun laws, especially after a bad shooting incident in 2019.

Most people in New Zealand don't own guns, and it's uncommon to see police officers carrying weapons.
