Hanse, can you find me ONE statement by the NZ Police or a government official that has even hinted at the fact that they are interested in bolt action firearms ?

Ummm.... You might not have realised this, but if you were to go back to the original Bill that Police introduced for the latest changes, the wording in that did actually give the ability to classify bolt action firearms as MSSAs. It was only as a result of the submissions in the select committee process that it was changed so that bolt guns weren't able to be declared MSSA.
