    @Koshogi thanks for the information.

    Yes the categories have changed, I looked up the firearm category distinctions and pump is the same for shotguns but not pump rifles. Thanks for the correction.

    Also the 2017 NFA is understood the be a guide rather than a national set of rules, the SSAA made it clear in the reports it was still state specific.

    "...the Minister proclaimed that the NFA is not binding on the states or territories. It is an in-principle agreement and if aspects of the NFA are unworkable or unsuitable for a jurisdiction, they have the power to deviate from the document. This was repeated time and time again throughout the meeting and it shines a light on the stark reality of firearms laws in this country: there is no such thing as national firearms laws and the NFA itself carries no weight whatsoever. It is simply a guide." Taken from SSAA website.

    And yes like the speed limits in the NT I'm sure the firearms license applications are probably easier than every other state. But for the vast majority of Australia its harder to get a license and also has more rules in place about PTAs, than here in NZ. Sorry for the generalisation.
