Compared with other western and developed countries New Zealand is fairly easy on gun control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation Since taking up shooting and mixing in these circles I have quickly learned to take a lot of what is said with a grain of salt. The Arms Officer I got was actually quite a helpful bloke. Between myself and referees I think there were 4 AO's involved and noone said anything negative about their interviews. But one would think by listening to the gossip the Police are out to get LFAO's. ACT used to be a libertarian party but that has gone by the wayside. Yes, they have some policies I agree with but ultimately they will just be supporting National. I think 50% chance air rifles will end up being licensed. Because of the actions of a few d*heads.

I was informed by someone in the industry air rifle sales were being reported on request of the Police. It was not clear if this applied to a specific region or country wide.

Have no idea. Couldn't care less if they did. I haven't ever been asked for name or identification when buying from a gun shop.
Guess the grey hair gives it away that I'm over 18 and entitled to use own one. |

Now see what we're up against:
I've also just received an email from the new Police Authority about registering all my Firearms on the new NZ Firearms Register - which is a total waste of time according to all the shooters I know!!!  Have you received the same yet? |

Regarding the anti gun rhetoric on Stuff - No doubt the 'woke' anti-crowd will change their tune very quickly if it looks like a war is brewing in this part of the world. More Taiwanese seek gun training as Ukraine war drives home cross-strait tensionEdited by FPM - 13 May 2023 at 8:18pm |

I used to shoot FT here in NZ. I actually represented NZ in 2 worlds competitions, one I travelled to the UK for.
These new rules have killed the sport I found great joy and relaxation in and I feel a bit hard done by. I see though that you can still dress up in full tactical gear and act out shooting people in airsoft and paintball. I'm not anti them, but then why do non violent target shooting disciplines get penalised. I miss that aspect, but am grateful I do pest work for a job, |

Because the weapons with hard projectiles have the potential to injure or kill. If you started airsoft ft shooting sure you would have no issues with the law.
Not that bbs be that great for it. |

Don't forget you don't have to register antique rifles, roll on crims with muskets. Lmao
