The code isn't law, find the Act and Section you would charge somebody under in that situation.

That's not law. I've never seen anywhere in law that specifies any distances in relation to loaded firearms.

The .22LR is just as deadly :ORLY:

Do you even wonder how much worse it would/could have been if they had an MSSA with 30 shot clips? Possibly the UK firearm laws prevented that event from being...

Yeah people take me the wrong way on this topic a lot, I have no problem with "fit and proper" people owning them, I just think it's a little to easy to get them. MSSAs in the wrong hands scare the...

So we should just remove all difficulties for anyone to own a firearm?

Source, my own observations.

People change, more inspections and contact with the AO can only help pick up on problems, add in more reference checks I don't see a downside. Small price to pay in...

If I was going to be pedantic I would say, don't be stupid MSSA's are everywhere, it's just the term that is unique to NZ. Like saying beer only exists in English speaking countries.

First of all...

They actually tried to make the changes earlier but weren't able to, it took a few deaths for them to pass it.

Last time I counted 1992 was 21 years ago. Just because the firearms could have gone...

That's an opinion.

The E-Cat measures were brought on by the David Grey shooting that happened right here in NZ. It doesn't specifically target ARs. It is a preventative measure to try and stop MSSAs from falling into...

Really? Where? I have never seen it but then I probably haven't looked in the right places.

I think you'll find that if you read the law, that only applies to discharging a firearm.

Nope it would be your fault as you could reasonably see the consequences of your actions but decided to carry on anyway. I understand what you're saying and agree in part with it but society has...

Sorry, I was thinking of licences revoked because of a protection order being put in place.

What would Polices "own benefit" be? Enforcing the law and protecting the citizens I would presume, I'm unaware of anything else they would have to gain, they aren't a business, there are no profits....

eg, There is nothing in law that says you can't walk through town holding a loaded and actioned rifle in your hands in plain sight if you are on your way to go shoot tin cans at a mates place, but it...

I was speaking in a broader sense where people keep saying "but the arms code isn't law". I think that if you follow the arms code and use common sense then you should be fine.

Yes but if people keep pushing their luck and ignoring the Arms Code, eg not storing bolt seperatly because they're to lazy, the Police may decide that they're not "fit and proper" and revoke your...
