Thread: MSSA buyback

hi, does anyone know how to start for processing the MSSA buyback? any form need to complete?
what is the deadline of the buyback schema?

Here is the link https://www.police.govt.nz/advice/fi...bited-firearms

Scroll down to the "completing the online form" section and click on the blue button

You have at least six months. Don’t rush.

Sell a great headline from "STUFF" stating "over 2000 illegal firearms" have been handed in, do they mean firearms that were purchased legally and have been offered to surrender for buyback.

They might have tried to say "over 2000 legally-purchased and -owned firearms now reclassified as illegal" but stuffed it up.

That would involve the reporter being able to think.......or try.

Theres been no details released about the buybacks yet. Police arent even geared up to take them yet either.
Dont hand anything in yet or even fill out their form. Wait till more is known

Had some advice from a real Policeman one that owns and shot AR15's, He said don't fill in any forms, There are some court cases looming that could change things, as usual with these idiots
that overreact there are mistakes in the new laws so DON'T until the buy back is sorted and you know what you are getting, I would get in touch with your arms officer and get your file and see what
firearms they have you listed as owning if you are lucky it will be wrong,
He also said the firearms handed in at his station are all junk not worth anything.

The rumor is (heard this from a farmer an hour ago) that guns handed in, in good faith, will not be eligible for compensation, even if you filled in the online form. These are the guns handed in before the announced buy back, even if you entered your bank details. This reflects the email sent out by police where A-cat just need to hand in their "illegal" firearms with no mention of compensation, while E-cat states "to participate in the buy back".

He also said the local engineering firms have been approached to cut up the rifles.

Yeah it does, it asks for your bank details and asks you to specify whether you are surrendering without compensation (a gun that was illegal already pre ban) or whether its a former A or E cat that is illegible for compensation.

Well if that's the case it will be changing my view of this country / government / police.... I have never had any major issues with how the country has been run but if as a law abiding citizen I get screwed over.... Well maybe it's time to disconnect the Speedo on my diesel and a few other things...

Time to go off the grid me thinks, pity I am too old for that shit I am tied to the Pharmacy for my meds, If i was 50years younger I would be gone.

Who would supply us with cast Bullets tho ???
