1...You have drawn our attention to an extract from a copy of something. Whatever is the extracted copy from?

2...That copy uses the words "non prohibited part." Give us credit for understanding that if a part was a "prohibited" part, then because they have been defined, there is an issue.

But what parts of a firearm are "non prohibited".

I have already pointed out the earlier stupid use of classifying scopes and slings as part of a firearm and if the definition of a "non prohibited part" is to be considered as "it is not named as a prohibited part" , we are right back to where we were with the earlier lunacy.

To make something illegal, the obvious first step is to identify it. Nowhere do I see any such identification, but, as you saw cause to create a post on this matter, could you please either

3 list ;the "non prohibited parts" of a fire arm;
or
4...provide a link to a list of "non prohibited parts".

This would assist our members and we would be most grateful and I for one, would not accept Constable Plod making a decision on what is a "non prohibited part " whenever the mood or situation may happen to suit him.

Thank You.

Where have you been living for the past 6 months, as you seem unaware of the new laws that have been written and will be implemented into legislation 6 months from date of signing. The best bit is police also cant quantify what a prohibited or non prohibited part is. So we just have to wait till some poor sap get pinged for possesing something untill it is clarified. My guess is a non prohibited part is a non MSSA part. As for links, well you can look at the legislation on the govt website, I dont need to bother posting links. Perhaps on the 24th police will define exactly what parts are referred to. Did you know that after the 24th, possesion of ammo by a non licence holder is also good for jail time, and to put the icing on the cake, possesion is deemed to be in the same location as the ammo (for a non LFO person) eg house sitting for an LFO and there is some ammo stached in a drawer.
