Philippa Yasbek

Philippa Yasbek is a co-founder and researcher for Gun Control NZ, advocating for stricter gun control measures in New Zealand. She has expressed concerns over the current filtering of firearms licence holders, arguing that individuals with serious past convictions should face automatic disqualification. Yasbek is pushing for reforms, including a reduction in the firearms licence renewal period from ten to five years, to better account for life changes that could increase risks associated with firearm ownership.
