Thread: Protesting Confiscation Events

@sightpicture

you are talking about the new laws (prohibited firearms), not the original item under discussion (right to own firearms).

pretty sure there will be legal challenges to some (or all) of the new laws. if any of that includes a defense of "right to bear arms" I would be very surprised if it got anywhere in NZ

i suspect the courts will point out that the counter argument to point 1 would be the payment offered for those items.

point 2 is a meaningless argument, the law has changed, the amnesty is an acknoledgement that people are now on the "wrong side" of the law through no fault of their own. amnesties after law changes are not new... so i'm not really sure what the point is you are trying to make there.
