Thread: New government will rewrite Arms Act

now who is making up shit to suit /fit their argument????
excuses for NZFirsts past BS still doesnt excuse it....

and Norsk I gave party vote to ACT...that was always a given...but candidate vote to National...because that way it wasnt wasted vote..it may or may not have made any difference to the national candidate winning..but would have kicked myself if labour had won seat by 1 vote if I hadnt.
I have never voted for national before..and possibly wont again..but I sure as hell will never vote labour.

Crikey did not know that Winny also uses 50gr TTSX.

And the extra seat they won was in an electorate that I surmise would be anti gun. She won mainly because of her opponent's less than palatable view.

Keep this on track guys, general views on politics isn't what this thread is about. If it isn't firearms related save it for elsewhere

Then they will piss and moan when it gets the chop

Delta Mike on point again today.

all sorts of hypotheses advanced but i guess in reality itll be mid 2024 before all becomes crystal clear. still weve got a foot in the door so lets be thankful for small mercies

Certainly this result is a unique and one shot opportunity to turn things around for the better. The shit canning of the clubs and ranges regs will be massive relief to many committees and range operators around the country. It's just a shame that so much work has had to go into compliance for effectively one year to keep the lights on.

An opportunity to reset the firearms scene in New Zealand perhaps, to a place where most shooters are happy, have a good relationship with the regulators and administrators, and things are done that will actually make the public safer.

I'd love nothing more than to be able to shoot service rifle and 3 gun again with proper long guns.

To me this shows what hunters and shooters can actually achieve if we stand up and be counted.

I know this is only the first hill, but it's the most positive I've felt in a long time.

Thre range restrictions were in a large part an attempt to prevent access and introduction to firearms by new shooters. Similar things have happened in plenty of other countries too.Scotland for example requires the licencing of Air Rifles now,in the UK a new shooter cannot fire a centerfire on any range or a non FAC holder cannot handle a Rifle in a shop.

The new government has even at this stage began the "re-nomalisiation" of firearms ownership,A very simple ,cultural and historic fact for New Zealand.

Certainly interesting times, I hope that we as a firearm owning community really show some serious support for Nicole and give her all the help we can, because you can be damn sure other parts of the populace will be pouring scorn on her every chance they get!

Time to close this, discussion is no longer about the actual legislation and is getting in to personal political views.
