It is just the start. Things will get a lot worse as long as this country remains part of the corrupt Un.

Shite, I still need a bcg, charging handle, gas block and some rails, oh a stock and mags...barrel and gas tube arriving tomorrow...
Anyone got spares they want to sell?
Dumb as a dumb thing on national dumb day! It won't end there for sure.
This is reclassification by stealth. Very cunning and undemocratic.
The NZ Police signed all FAL holder's lives away right HERE.
Ok, found and bought a charging handle, bcg next, figure there are gas blocks being made in NZ so they can’t ban the import of those as there is no import...
Is this actually true tho? Anyone from gunsnz or nzar15 on here?
It's very true. Stay tuned for additional information
If they were shut down for trying to reclassify firearms before what's stopped this decision from being overturned?
Damn.... Well guess that squashs a few dreams (including mine)
So how can it be inforced on imports when not 'legal' wouldn't it be customs and police sizing things?
Never give up on your dreams @223nut :thumbsup:
if I had the skills Id make the parts here and if I then had the money, id give em away. flood the market.
Very sly eh
This will really affect a few NZ businesses like gunsnz and nzar15 :(
Customs don't make their own decisions on what to do. They just do what the police tell them to do when it comes to legitimate firearm imports.
Which is actually silly because it opens them up to legal battles when they're breaking the law by doing as police tell them.
In my eyes (I'm no lawyer), technically they're the ones breaking the law by confiscating the firearm parts with no legal basis, the police are just telling them to.
The owner of NZAR15 is a FOUNZ editor.
How about ar15 parts that fit other rifles? like a jr carbine? they use trigger group, stock, buffer tube etc, fore grip.
assholes. I hope they end up with egg on their faces over this crap.
Erm, what about spare parts if a trigger breaks on my existing a cat ar or a buffer tube spring needs replacing?
Ah well, A cat AR15 have probably sky rocketed in value now, will have to pop down to the local Black Power/Mongrel Mob headquarters and sell them mine.
That'll learn them.
Bastards.
I'd happily contribute to legal fees if someone fundraises to fight this, this is complete horse shit
Taken from the Firearm Owners United NZ facebook pages' update on the issue
I HAVE HAD PARTS SEIZED AT CUSTOMS - WHAT CAN I DO?
"We recommend contacting a lawyer. At this stage we can confirm Richard Lincoln's firm has started legal representation for importers. Nick Taylor is rumored to be involved with an importer too. Richard can be contacted on 021 152 5527 and Nick on 021 362 123. By joining an existing legal action costs can be shared. We recommend anyone who is affected by this new policy to get in touch with one of these lawyers."
Not affected but i'll be ringing both to ask if they're taking contributions after work tomorrow.
just go harass ol Nash at his office for starters and remind him he serves the tax payers and with out us he losses his big pay cheque
A society always gets the administration that it deserves.
You wanted it, so ENJOY!
Isn't it wonderful that pondlife only realize the consequence of their decisions when it impinges on them.
A quarter of the population are imports, over half of the population are female, to get a govt job you must believe sodomy is normal and that diversity is the source of a contented functional society.
These deviants all vote and obviously outnumber those still capable of rational thought.
For the youngsters out there, and those ignorant older types, if you wish to know what's coming next, I would direct you to read the Thorpe Report. It is the police playbook. Since 1997 it is the source and direction of all police policy.
So I have read the Police letters on the FOU site.
It does not specifically relate to AR-15's as such but they are refusing import permits for parts that can be used on MSSA's as well as A Cat rifles (even if the parts in question are not the 'naughty' parts of an AR that make them an MSSA). They state you have to import 'complete' a cat or e cat rifles only.
This won't last and I will tell you why...
Other A cat rifles, like a Ruger 10/22, can be a MSSA firearm (and therefore E cat) if you use a magazine on them that contains more than 15 rounds. Therefore importing any 10/22 parts is now not approved by Police, and you can only import complete rifles, due to the fact they can be used on both A-Cat and MSSA firearms. Same for other rifles like mini 14's, SKS etc etc.
See how long that lasts.
The feedback I received from FOUNZ on this, was to sit tight for the time being. Discussions are being had with lawyers. If they proceed down the legal path, then they will post on it publicly. There is hope for government intervention which would avoid this need.
