Arms (Military Style Semi-automatic Firearms and Import Controls) Amendment Bill 285-2 (2011), Government Bill – New Zealand Legislation

Ok, so while not the police, nothing stopping the police requesting,

"The Governor-General may by Order in Council do any or all of the following things:

describe a kind of component as a pistol grip for the purposes of the definition in section 2 of military style semi-automatic firearm:

“(b) declare semi-automatic firearms (other than pistols) of a stated make and model to be military style semi-automatic firearms for the purposes of this Act:

“(c) declare semi-automatic firearms (other than pistols) of a stated description to be military style semi-automatic firearms for the purposes of this Act:

“(d) define or describe features of a semi-automatic firearm (other than a pistol) as features of a military style semi-automatic firearm for the purposes of this Act.
