    Well actually, we do have the RIGHT to own arms (if your protestant).
    Subjects’ arms

    That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions, and as allowed by law:

    The New Zealand Parliament use the Bill of Rights 1688 to give themselves Parliamentary Privilege.

    The Bill of Rights 1688 also forms part of New Zealand law by virtue of the Imperial Laws Application Act 1988.

    Source: New Zealand Parliament - Parliamentary privilege

    Additionally, Firearms Licences are SHALL issue (subject to age and being a fit and proper person), as specified in the Arms Act.

    24 Issue of firearms licence

    (1)

    Subject to subsection (2), a firearms licence shall be issued if the member of the Police to whom the application is made is satisfied that the applicant—
    (a)

    is of or over the age of 16 years; and
    (b)

    is a fit and proper person to be in possession of a firearm or airgun.



    Now, time to turn 1 gun into 5 guns.
