Hey guys, it would be great to see some further support for this, it's an automatic submission to raise awareness with key personnel of some of the issues with the new arms amendment coming in the end of the year and what it will and might mean for kiwi firearms licence holders http://saveourpistolgrips.com/

The powers that be dont care.When it went through comittee there were a lot of very sensible submissions and they were all ignored. The police want more power and thats exactly what the government has given them. carte Blanche to declare anything they dont like as a MMSA. I have been a member of the NSANZ since its inception and we have been fighting this for two years. Waste of time talking to COLFO they are only there for the large firearms dealers and the big shooting orgs. They were the first to tell shooters to just let the police do as thye wanted. Judith Collins illegaly holds a restricted weapon, namely a working stun gun , and she wants us plebs disarmed.
Best thing you can do is vote all of the blood sucking parasites out of parliament and replacing them with those whon care about thier electorate.

Yeah, I did the whole submission thing using that form but I can't help feeling it's essentially whining about a battle that was already lost.
I also asked some friends who are involved in politics how much good a form-e-mail type thing like that would do and got an answer of 'it'll probably result in the minister's aide saying something like '100 people e-mailed you a form letter about the arms amendment act' and then it will be ignored.
His suggestion was that if you want to do something about it, actually go and talk to your local MP (and hope that they aren't anti-gun).
What a crap system.

I agree it may not do much but it's better than not doing anything at all.
if anything it has drawn a lot of the firearms community together, I've seen some who are single shot rifle hunters write submissions where in the past they have denounced semi autos (some even bolt action owners too)
I believe there's been over 7000 submissions thus far.
I truely hope someone listens, and I also have been trying to have a face to face conversation with an MP.
we'll just have to wait for now. but best write a submission rather than submit :-)

If he has a FAL then he's considered fit and proper to own and use firearms as well as unlikely to have any recent convictions. I'd imagine that, on average, FAL holders are more law abiding than non FAL holders...

it's not as though I'm 'carrying' and I have never and never will have any intention to use any firearms against anyone so that is a moot point.
as for meeting unfortunately I've become too busy but I have been given the go ahead to visit this MP's office any time and try organise a meeting. he gave me the timings he is usually in his office.
I have however been in phone and email contact and he has been quite receptive to discussions thus far so a meeting (with this MP isn't too necessary)
unfortunately I haven't had too much success with my local MP's. it seems that attempting to meet an MP out of town is easier than the ones down the road.

The largest group of police vetted people in NZ all found to be honest and of good reputation.
Yet the press paint us as the bad guys.
Soon enough it will all be illegal and the worse the world economy gets the more likely it is to happen.
The worlds run by people that don't want to be over thrown or displaced at gun point by pissed off commoners so taking the firearms off them well in advance is always on the cards.
It's just a matter of time.

fair call.
I just get really cautious about people making light hearted jokes or comments about potential illegal use of firearms.
I'd love to ride my bike except some idiot sold it and decided they didn't need one for a year. (stupid me)

potentially using firearms illegally is one of my hobbies!
Along with potentially riding motorcycles illegally, potentially consuming class a through c drugs illegally, potentially using hookers illegally....sometimes potentially all at once.
Man! Never underestimate potentially illegal activities!
