Thread: Anyone know about any changes to the law concerning AR's??

I remember a member on the other forum working at a Hamills store, saying that semi automatic firearms had actually become their most sold guns, shotguns and .22's if I recall, but still.

To put my cards on the table, I have been involved in one way or another with Ken at NZAR15 since it's inception. It's been interesting to see how NZ hunters and shooters took to AR15's like ducks to water. Ken never has trouble moving stock, if anything his issue is keeping up with demand. If you buy a gun off Ken you will be looked after better than GC.

In saying all that, I like seeing more retailers on the scene, such as Gunsnz. It is also good to see more tradition oriented stores such as H&F, Reloaders etc carrying AR products. The more options for Kiwi's the better. Even Tipple of Gun City has actually represented us fairly well in the media spotlight. For all the faults and criticism they get, you have to pay credit where it is due.

We need to stand up and show everybody that AR rifles are legitimate hunting tools used by New Zealand shooters. Myself and most of my shooting friends use them successfully on all game. Some of them run them exclusively for hunting. Making them all MSSA's just because is idiotic. They clearly aren't causing a problem.
