Date Posted: 29 Jul 2019 at 8:46am
been surfing all the nz shooting forums on line and face book for last few weeks just to see what the reaction is to these laws,have to admit am bit surprised at the surprisinly little discussion on some forums bout this issuse,which amounts to the confiscation of just bout all rifles that are not bolt action in centerfires,even the pig hunters favourite lever actions using 44/357.etc pistol cartridges will be gone as will any rifle it seems bigger than 30/06,even your dads old pump action tube maged 22lr rifle will be gone if what the government is proposing comes about,yet virtual silence from gun owners and hunters!!personly it wont afect me with the firearms i own these days,but that is not the point,as it concerns me for many other reasons as well as my being able to own other types of guns if so choose to in future.am absolutly disgusted in the NATs for rolling over to get a nice PC tummy rub for purely PC reasons not wanting i am sure to look as if they didnt care to voters or in overseas news etc in the wake of what happened in christchurch wich we think is horriffic i am sure,the labour mob used the emotions of the time to implment a long held labour policy on firearms with the full conivence of nz police some of whom allso have long wanted the same result,antone who believes this isnt the case needs get their head outa their arses and wipe the sh*t from their eyes,nz police allready had practice run at making this work by banning bassiaclly all private imports or most airguns,and making it bloody hard for dealers to do same,been more reaction from farmers than shooters over these issuses,facts are that shooters/gun owners and hunters in this country cant and never have been able to get their collective sh*t together and dont really care bout others as long as it didnt affect them personally,well now it does matter to all those who once didnt care coz you all guna lose your prized guns too mates,now you will care eh!!dont think for one minute they wont be coming after airguns either,coz allready started doing that some time ago eh,cheers mike

i i keep up with wots going on,but dont like our chances too much in getting any sane concessions from this mob as they got nz police,the media on their side spreading lies and half truths,and lot the public are now parnoid bout guns and dont understand or want understand wots really behind this,nz gun owners allways had a history of being an appathic disorganised bunch as well,with many clubs and shooting groups really only interested in keeping their own little bit the sport protected so havnt really cared wot happens to other sectors of the sport,and unless this atitude changes the new laws will become a done deal for sure,wether the government can actually pull it off as they believe they can,is another matter,personally i think they wont and many will simplily not comply,time will tell i guess,facts are if gun owners by and large dont comply,there is very little they can actually do bout that in practical terms,fact is government and nz police are relying on threats to make gun owners comply,rather than working with them and doing in such a way they will comply,the whole process been emotionally based and they have played on that to their advantage fully,they lied right from start bout wot they intended and went ahead and have banned most repeating sporting rifles as well,banning lever action carbines and any gun using pistol ammo is quite plainly bloody ridiculous,as is banning all 22 rimfire rifles with evean tube mags that hold more than 10 rounds when they know very well most hold 15 rounds,bassically they have banned based on mag capacity alone a types of rifles that have been used in this counrty for over 100 years,effectivly removing a large segment of popular sporting rifles under the same pretext as a cat MSA rifles,simplily coz they can,as to why begs an honest answer,which we are never going to get from this mob and nz police,thats for sure!!
 facts are the UK has some the toughest gun laws in the world,they havnt stopped/prevented gun crime,in fact its got worse,the laws this mob wants bring in are far tougher than the UK laws and wont work any better either,it is a blatent lie for police and government to say other wise,but truth has been very thin on the ground here from police and government on this issuse,infact the whole process has been based on lies and political motives,as to how well this will work out for nz police and government is very much dependant on wether most gun owners roll over play dead and comply,if a large nunmber dont or wont they going to have issuses eh!!

am little surprised by lack of comments on this issuse as dos affect airgunners as well and its not all just about gun laws,its allso about the state of politics in this country,we only need to look at how these laws got thru parliment without one word from the Nat oppostion,they just rolled over and played dead and allowed it to happen,too afraid to risk political fallout on media to for purely their own political reasons,not wanting to appear as if they didnt care in media,judith collins supports tough gun laws,allways has,simion bridges just came out on thursday on talk back radio and breakfast tv saying same thing,and boasting he was proud to be part of nz being one the first western countrys go gun free,we now know bridges wants to ban all guns,yet none the media or gun forums picked up on this statement of intend by the leader of the NAT party,so we can now assume with some certainty all partys in government are now working together on total gun ban eventually,and we can include winnies on same side as he has allready stated so many times,this being the case,dont expect any real resistance or any will on NATS part to bring some sanity into the debate,coz that aint going to happen now,they have all come out of hiding and shown their true colours on the gun issuse now,obviously they have done the numbers for voters and are going to totally ignore rural people and farmers who have allways been their biggest voter base,they may doso at their political peril.
 If airgun users believe they wont be coming after them next,they are very mistaken as they have allready started on airguns by banning the importation of many airguns simplily because nz police dont like the look of them,nz police have just started large purchases of M4 carbines and Glock handguns,as well as new bullet proof vests to replace the stab proof vests,this is a paranoid police force in the process of fully arming them selves agaisnt the public they are meant to protect.
the real facts are that what happened in christchurch was preventable if nz security services and nz police had done their jobs properly,neither agency didso,nz police incompetence and failing to follow the law and proper procedure in issusing a firearms licence,played a very significant role in what happened,in truth blame for it lays entirely on nz police,we will never know the true facts as the enquiry is in secret,to protect the guilty for sure,and obsolve the guilty from any blame or responsiblity this bein the case the blame and responsiblity is being shifted away from government and its guilty agents.this will without be a coverup.
 NAT leader sinion bridges made statement to media on thursday part of which said he was proud to be part of making this country one first in world to be gun free as we allready know judith collins stance on this being very anti gun,seems Nats are now fully backing labour government on new gun laws,the guts of which apparently eventually a total gun ban in nz,yet stangly enough the media nor very few others have picked up on bridges statement and certainly havnt reported it,Winni is definatly now very anti gun and has said so many times on media,so we now definatly know exactly where all our elected polititions stand on this issue,dispite the intended legal challenges about to go court in future,its a done deal,and to believe other wise is to delude ourselves,as to how this will work out for govenment and there bum licking police collegues is anyones guess,i would say its a preety good guess that because the ban not only being on msa rifles but just bout all repeating rifles now being allso include,there will be significant resistance to the new laws by many gun owners once they finally realise how comprehensive this ban is,will be interesting on this plays out,facts are if very significant numbers dont comply there will be very little police and government can do about that,the end result being they will have made many law abiding gun owner criminals at stroke of a pen for no reason,
 just few thoughts on this saga of government and polices lies and bully tactics.

they have now pretty much banned all guns using any pistol cartridges,so good bye to most lever action and single shot pig hunting carbines,any gun even with tube mags that hols more than 10 cartridges,and the list goes on,they lied ,told us was only going to be A cat MSA rifles,but E cat gone now as well,a gun register for all guns is coming as well,so they have gone after pretty much most repeating sporting rifles that have been used in nz for 100 years guys,the intention as has been stated by Simion Bridges and Judith Collins of NAT party last week is to make nz a gun free country,so NATs on board too and going to support whatever the Labour mob and nz police want fully in parliment,find it bit strange the media never picked up on Bridges comments on thus last week that he was proud to be part of making this country one the first to gun free,just proves once again we cant trust any politition or any polititical party any more on this or most other issuses any more either,last week parliment is going to pass two laws that bassically will make full term pregnacys legel ,thats murder of a full term baby,and same week make it legal to kill terminally ill ,what does it say about a country that going to make what is really murder legal eh!!this is the world we live in today,i personally have issuses with abortion for right reasons before the fetus has a heart beat and no brain function,and no issuses with suicide,by personal choice,but do have serious issuses with legalised medical murder.
 food for thought eh!

have just read the discussion paper on new gun laws released by nz police thats going to the select committee soon,this is bassically the police wish list on gun control,and you can bet your boots will be the only submission the government will pay any attention to,the government has very kindly extended the time period for public submissions to september,definatly proving they have no intention of paying ant attention to gun owners in this process,giving gun owners a months extention is just playing with words,when the submission process was already only a few months long to begin with,definatly not enough time for meaningfull discussions in first instance.
 any one who believes this process is anything but a gun grab by force isnt paying attention,they have no intention of being fair and reasonable and neither do nz police as both partys have very cynically used the nz media and the emotions of the time toconsistantly use lies and half truths to get their agenda thru to a bassically ill informed general public,many of whom dont own guns or understand anything bout guns other than the crap they see in movies and overseas fake news,that are all about crime,terroism and violence,not hunting or other shooting activitys that most gun owners are involved in,so dont really care bout anything else,many still believe our disfunctional police can keep them safe from violence and crime when facts prove to be very different so tend to believe the police lies bout their ablity to doso,its very easy to pick on approx 260,000 leagal gun owners coz police know who they are and where to find them,so make scapegoats out of legal lawabiding gun owners for purely political reasons and to suit police agendas,unfortunatly we have a socialist type government now who just dosnt like guns or their owners that are more than happy to go along for the ride with nz police for political reasons,both partys have exploited what happened in christchurch to the fullest advantage they wring out of it,this must have been mana from heaven,a gift from god to these people and they have taken full advanage of that oppurtunity. i havnt owned ant msa rifles for over 20 years so have no personal axe to gring over msa rifles,but really dont see or believe these rifles pose the thread the public is being lead to believe they do or may do,personally i had allways believe all msa rifles should have been on e cat,no exceptions,but that was then and this is now and they have lied and banned them all along with most lever action carbines firing pistol cartridges as well as many other types of hunting and target shooting rifles,many tube mag 22 rimfire rifles are now allso banned,they havnt left us much.this is exactly what it looks like!! a gun grab in attempt to remove as many once legal guns out of the system as possible and then make so hard to get a gun licence they hope many wont try to in the future,no mention so far in the paper bout airguns,but that too will be on the agenda in future once they have dealt with firearms,you can bet on that,so it would be deluding our selves to believe otherwise,this is all about putting in place a way to remove from nz as many legally owned guns as possible by whatever means they can a will come up with for sure,sadly the nats are allso on their side too,so dont expect the nats to stand up for sane and workable gun laws either,simon bridges and judith collins have clearly made their postion clear on this issuse recently,they will back the government on any new gun laws.
 personally i tend to believe any legal challenges to these new laws will fail,because evan if the courts decide in favour of gun owners i believe the law will be changes to over rule the courts on this one and it wont be first time our government has done so either.any one who believes demococy actually works in nz most be blind and deaf,as it never really has in the past either.demococy in nz is a delusion.
 i worry bout the type of country my grand children will inherit and the type of government they have to live under.

maybe the worms have turned mate,but that still dosnt forgive them for rolling over and playing dead the first time around,i for one wont forget,just been reading some the drafts for new laws,after nash the minister of police has stated these new laws have nothing to do with public saftey or gun crime,gangs with guns etc,its now very clear to me this is really all about disarming the public for some political reasons this mob dosnt want its citizens to have access to any firearms for some reason,a common thing with marxist type governments who all say they are for the people,but all try and suppress the people,to maintain political power and control,this mob doing exactly that just like the communists they are,their long term goal is a totally gun free country,and that has absolutly nothing to do with public saftety, or preventing violent crime,the penaltys for evean minor infrigments against these proposed laws are more sever for a licenced gun owner than an armed criminal at $10,000 and or 6 months imprisnment accross all laws,very rare for an armed robber or gang member with mulitple convictions for criminal convictions with guns to even be convicted let alone do any prison time,let alone get slammed with a $10,000 fine eh,but thats the new penaltys for a licenced gun owner,the list for these penaltys for gun owners is very long and allso applies to airgun owners.nothing good will come out of this mess,but legal gun owners going to pay the price big time,they are allso going to increase the costs involved for anything to do with legal gun owners,ststing the costs to nz police are not covered by the fees etc,i imagine the same could be said for the costs in getting a car licence,but no intention of putting those costs up eh!!,facts are that the government has put in place gun laws,so they should pay the costs for all the time it takes to administer their own laws that were not needed in first place,police never even try to recover costs from any of their other activitys,so why should they for gun owners???who by and large are the most law abiding citizens of this country and have commited no crimes,when they dont even try to recover costs from criminals,fair comment i think eh!!i tend to think this isnt going to work out as well as government and police beieve it will,i dont believe they will be able to suck in any where near the number of now banned firearms as they believe they will,fact is they have no idea on how many or whats out there,let alone that the majority of owners will comply simpliy because they say they must or be penilised for not doing so!!bully tactics never work,threating gun owners with being then criminals if they dont comply,is totall fantisy,bassically all they will be doing is to creat one more class of criminals out of otherwise very law abiding citizens purely for political reasons of their own,if stupidity was brains this lot would all have iqs equivent to steven hawkins,every single one of them,but what we have instead is the lunatics running the asylem.
 what are they actually really going to be able to do if most legal gun owners dont comply with this crap??where does that leave them then???
 i personally havnt owned an msa rifle for many years,but i do own like many others do certain rifles that have been added to the now banned list,some i inherited from my father and i am not prepared to relingish any of them,just because after these rifles having been in my familly in some cases for close to 100 years,just coz they say so,and am certainly not going to butcher them just coz they sayso either,i imagine i am not alone thinking this way either,as to what i will do with these familly treasures i havnt decided,except i wont be turning them in for distruction.i know i am going on a bit bout this situation,but there is more involved here as fars as i am concerned than new draconian gun laws,its allso very much about how they have gone about it to me,with politians right accross the board from all partys being involved for their own political reasons betraying the trust put in them by those who elected them in good faith they had our best intersts in mind,which clearly many didnt.
 its too late as far as i am concerned to forgive the nats for what they did on this issuse coz i certainly wont forget and dont believe other nat voters and supporters should either,many us rural people wont forget or forgive they can take that to the next elections and i hope they pay for it then,when a country has a government that functions and rules this way we are all in trouble,and when a government is trying to disarm the citizens and fully arming its police force with the very firearms its banned its citizens from owning as this mob is now in the process of doing,something is very wrong,no one has yet to explain exactly why we need a police force fully armed with military weapons,or why they have expanded police and security forces powers to search and servail its citizens while taking away the citizens rights to legal process or privacy,we are now living in dangerous times when the powers governments are subverting for their exclusive use only,much of it done covered by a veil of secrecy and without the knowledge of its citizens,we now have a police force thats beyond the legal process with powers that make them unaccountable under the laws as the rest of us very certainly are and are now immune from prosecution under the law,when our police and security services can legally under powers given to them without our permissian secretly break into our homes ,busseness computers to put survailence devices to secretly spy on any one they choose to doso to without going to our courts with evidence to get a legal court issued warrent to doso,we live in a police state and if anyone believes otherwise they are deluding them selves.proberly said enough to get a visit from the powers that be now.
