    Customs don't make their own decisions on what to do. They just do what the police tell them to do when it comes to legitimate firearm imports.
    Which is actually silly because it opens them up to legal battles when they're breaking the law by doing as police tell them.
    In my eyes (I'm no lawyer), technically they're the ones breaking the law by confiscating the firearm parts with no legal basis, the police are just telling them to.

    Ah well, A cat AR15 have probably sky rocketed in value now, will have to pop down to the local Black Power/Mongrel Mob headquarters and sell them mine.

    That'll learn them.

    What and throw my whole rifle away or sell it for parts? Surely someone in the firearms community is going to challenge this legally?

    I'm sure they will. But someone needs to pay, maybe we should all consider going in together. I doubt they have any chance of winning.

    I'd happily contribute to legal fees if someone fundraises to fight this, this is complete horse shit

    Taken from the Firearm Owners United NZ facebook pages' update on the issue
    I HAVE HAD PARTS SEIZED AT CUSTOMS - WHAT CAN I DO?
    "We recommend contacting a lawyer. At this stage we can confirm Richard Lincoln's firm has started legal representation for importers. Nick Taylor is rumored to be involved with an importer too. Richard can be contacted on 021 152 5527 and Nick on 021 362 123. By joining an existing legal action costs can be shared. We recommend anyone who is affected by this new policy to get in touch with one of these lawyers."

    Not affected but i'll be ringing both to ask if they're taking contributions after work tomorrow.
