Bummer

After the public consultation meeting in ChCh, I wrote that Mike Mcilraith had said emphatically 4 or 5 times " the Arms Act is not being changed" and I wrote that he had said that "they are in the process of rewriting policy right now" This is some of the rewritten policy, all thanks to Stuart Nash and Police! The next policy change they will try to roll out will be something along the lines that if you own any firearm or part of a firearm that can be used to make a MSSA, then that will be classed as E Cat and you will require an E Cat endorsement to own it. The devils in the detail boys, the devils in the detail and they're coming for us!

I don't see the reason behind banning accessories, things like handguards, triggers etc are parts that are 100% useless by themselves and criminals/gang members are hardly going to spend $1000s on pimping out their AR 15s.

Its especially stupid when there are a heap of other firearms (mostly all bolt actions) the make use of these same accessories.

Seems the Police are hell bent on getting the firearm community to hate them. I just hope decisions like this come back to bite them and they come crawling back asking for forgiveness.

What exactly do they need us for then?
I am sure they would be most happy if only themselves and criminals had firearms.

I agree, but I do hope one day they do and we can tell them to shove it.

Try a google search like police appeal for help .nz

But maybe @systolic can explain to us in what ways NZ Police relies on the help of the public when the public is not legally obliged to do so.

Done.
Lots of results of course but none I saw asking licenced firearm owners for help specifically.

Exactly. It's not Cahill, he is just the mouth piece to front the real agenda. It is someone at PNHQ hierarchy - About time we all had a name to the face yeah?

Nope, hadn't seen that; but I have a vetter coming to check my security this arvo (Recently moved house) si I wonder what effect the current plod attitude will have. This is so fkn wrong. I used to think nobody was above or beyond "the Law", but obviously Police is (deliberately) sic

@veitnamcam

My point was also a general one. A considerable proportion of the population are to a point alienated from the cops, what with being on the bottom of the social pile, criminal records etc. Alienate an additional quarter million people in the normal, law-abiding band. Not good.

We have no interest in a poor relationship with police, and police have no interest in a poor relationship with 250,000 LFAOs. But good relationships always take two happy parties.

Personally I think you've got that wrong.
Sure Mike seemed ok at the meetings, it was his job to appear that way and everything he said was lip service.
Cahill is nothing but a mouth piece for Mike and his CO's, where they can't be seen to saying the things he does.
Mike's office are the perpetrators of this policy, Mike is the head of that office. Police have been trying this stuff on and off testing the waters before there was ever a labour government also.
This isn't the government, this is the unelected government, the police.
