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.

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.

I think the most likely outcome of registration is risk weighted arms management - ie: folks who have a "collection" of firearms, or of a style/calibre with no great civilian use, will be subject to additional scrutiny.

The rest of us who have a normal rifle, or two or three, in our safe will probably see no great change.
