Not begging but making a last stand.

We have well exceeded the GCSB bill submission count (not hard - there were only 124) hopefully it will keep ticking over. Pass it on to any and everyone

I modified mine to use the word "voters" - they seem to care about that word occasionally

Done, even if they ignore this I love seeing a bit of unity amongst us shooters

Done, lets hope common sense prevails....but we are talking about politicians here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done. Hope we get enough submissions to make some ripples down in Wellington.

Me too done,although the last time I used a pistolgrip was 43 years ago,on a weapon not a firearm

Done... now off to polish my bolts bahaha

Added my bit for you. Threw a personal statement on the front in the hope that they might be more likely to read it..

Our First Response from an MP. This is great to see. We now have a politician lobbying on our behalf!

Dear Mr Roundtree

Thank you for your message about pistol grips and the Arms Amendment Act.

This clearly seems to be an unintended consequence of last year's law change, and I can see the adverse impact it will have on recreational hunters and shooters.

I will therefore be pleased to lobby the Ministers of Police and Justice for some changes, and I thank you for raising the issue with me.

Kind regards

MP for Ohariu

We have to remember that if a certain person didn't stand up to the original thumb hole fiasco all PGs, all druganov, all thumbholes would by now all be on "E". The original 2009/10 interpretation was for all semis with any form of the above to all be a MSSA. Then a year later in the original amendment before the committee all rifles with the above would have been considered MSSA even though they were not semis (yes bolt actions included). That certain person and his group stopped that and the Police returned to PGs only!

I don't see this as begging, I see it as a way of letting the poli's know they have again been hoodwinked by Police National HQ and that there are many law abiding firearm users who will be effected by this nonsense.

It is pleasing to see the support rolling in on here.

Thanks all for the support.
Cheers.

But Mr Dunne, we don't Want any changes!! Status quo please.

Its a case of preventing the proposed changes by NZ Police for the definition of a pistol grip.
