Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki claims he's is a responsible gun owner and hunter - after police have revoked his licence and confiscated his weapons.

He's live-streamed video of police at his home this morning, taking several firearms.

This month, Tamaki said New Zealand should be purged of Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims. 

He's still on the defence, claiming people are taking his words out of context.
