Thread: $590 for a permit to import

So many people blinded by the small details of the small picture here.. NZ is following the UNs plan of total civilian disarmament. We are actually behind many other countries such as Aussie and the UK etc in this process..
It is a case of death by 1000 cuts.
The only way of stopping this process would be to have a total change of government structure and remove all involvement from the UN.
It is laughable that people think this process will change if the vote for the next puppet in line such as national or act.
While I like seeing Nichole fight the small fights it does nothing to change the big battle.

Removing Semi autos, banning kids from shooting clubs, demonizing firearms and owners in the media, active shooter training in pre schools and primary schools, registration of existing arms, upping licencing related fees etc is all aimed at making it unattractive and unaffordable to the next generation of "would be" recreational shooters.

Enjoy our sport and recreation while we can because it is only a matter of time and it will all be gone.

I'm all for user pays but I also think it needs to go to a tender of private companies just like the crown recommended. Paying more for the same cop to do the same job we already pay him for just seems a little off IMO. I bet if it was tendered privately removing all government department involvement you would see cost come down drastically.

Got to laugh about the new name of the existing police firearms regulation department..
cant help but think Waikato Tainui were having a laugh too...
