    In saying that if your in the importation business, not so hard to hide a few in containers, but I’ve never heard/read of anyone being caught. So I’m not convinced, but doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

    As someone said, they’re picking low hanging fruit, and want quick wins to show they’re making a difference.

    However if you think about it logically: 21 year old gang prospect who’s got his license, up until the law change could jump on Trademe and buy a cheap semi like an sks or a pump action shotty.
    Chop the barrel down and hock it on the black market, for what I would guess as considerable gain. Or if nothing good on TM, here, Gun City. Plenty of options.
    It’s very easy to imagine, and I bet quite lucrative.

    Like it or not, this is what they’re trying to stop. The Unfortunate consequence is they catch us all in such legislation.
    No comment about locally grey manufactured or unlawfully manufactured or converted and also no comment about using replica/fake firearms to intimidate... Stats are bs again.
