00:00Kash Patel's gift to New Zealand officials backfires.

00:03FBI Director Kash Patel's diplomatic goodwill gesture to New Zealand officials

00:08has backfired after the gifts he presented.

00:11Inoperable pistols mounted on display stands

00:13were deemed illegal under the country's strict gun laws and subsequently destroyed.

00:18During his July visit to Wellington, Patel,

00:21the most senior Trump administration official to travel to New Zealand so far,

00:25gifted three D-printed plastic replica pistols

00:28to at least five senior police and intelligence leaders.

00:31However, pistols are tightly controlled weapons under the nation's law,

00:35requiring a special permit beyond a standard firearm license.

00:39According to Police Commissioner Richard Chambers,

00:41gun regulators determined the pistols were potentially operable

00:44and ordered their destruction.

00:47To ensure compliance with firearms laws,

00:49I instructed police to retain and destroy them, Chambers said in a statement.

00:53Two senior elected officials,

00:55Police Minister Mark Mitchell and Defence Minister Judith Collins,

00:58who also oversees the country's intelligence agencies,

01:02said they had received similar gifts from Patel.

01:05A spokesperson for the spy agencies described the items as

01:08a challenge coin display stand

01:10that featured the 3D-printed inoperable weapon

01:13as part of the design.

01:15New Zealand has maintained some of the world's toughest firearm regulations

01:19since the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings,

01:22in which a white supremacist gunman

01:24killed 51 Muslim worshippers

01:26using legally purchased semi-automatic rifles.

01:29While the pistols Patel presented were not of that type,

01:32the country's laws require individual permits for pistols

01:35and classify 3D-printed weapons as firearms.
