A friend forward this link to me outlining National MPs Alister Scott's members bill that seeks to make it illegal to own any shortened firearm without a police permit. The current wording is crazy and will penalise only law abiding firearms users. Have a read and see what you think...

Cameron Slater also has a good take on the proposed bill

I will be emailing a few MPs, this really needs to be nipped in the bud before it gains any traction.
