Here’s your periodic reminder that if you give them an moa they will take a mrad! This is why we are proud members of both Sporting Shooters Association of New Zealand and COLFO because their teams of volunteers are out finding these gems. Protect our sport and consider joining their organisations too.
Thanks to our friends at Sporting Shooters Association of New Zealand, an Official Information Act response has revealed the existence of a previously unknown Arms Act submission from 2025. We are currently seeking the full document.
While the existence of this particular submission was not known to us, the policy positions it reflects from the Fi****ms Safety Authority are all too familiar. Button-action and lever-action fi****ms are not the end goal, they are the opening position. This is now confirmed in official documentation.
As the Fi****ms Safety Authority NZ is dissolved and replaced by the new Fi****ms Safety Entity, one critical question remains: will the same personnel who have driven these attitudes simply be transferred into equivalent roles?
New Zealand’s licensed firearm owners need a genuine culture change in the regulator and not a third uniform change.
