Hello Mr Scott

If the copy of your proposal on this site is accurate
Alastair Scott’s proposed Arms Act amendment – FIREARM OWNERS UNITED NZ
then I am dismayed at your proposal

I don't think that you know how firearms work


Every gun cut down for a re-crown job will now be classed as a pistol

Every gun cut down to allow for the natural balance point of putting a suppressor on it (helps if your dog doesn't go deaf) will now be classed as a pistol

How long is a cut-down gun? Your proposed amendment doesn't say
Are you trying to get rid of firearms by classing them as pistols?

This amendment would instantly outlaw around 40% of my rifles and I only have one gun that would be considered a cut-down at the moment - a shotgun which was issued to Forestry Service staff for dealing to possums in dense bush
When I am done with this piece of rubbish I will put an angle grinder through it as I think that it is the only responsible thing to do with it

I do things like this as a responsible firearms owner


Your bright idea to outlaw a large section of the shooting community will lose votes

If this piece of legislation goes through then I will not vote National in the next election


Yours,
signed
