Thread: The anti gun lobby

1. Before a Permit to Import is issued for any firearm a check shall be made to ensure the
firearm has been approved for import into New Zealand. A list of firearms approved for
import is available on the Police website. This list is not exhaustive – if a firearm is not on
the list a check should be made with the Police Armourer.
2. The description must be precise. It must specify make/model/type and action
(e.g.: “Mossberg 500” is an inadequate description as there are many models of Mossberg
500, some of them banned from importation).

Despite the clear fact that PSI vs COP made it abundantly plain that Police do not have and never have had the power to 'ban' any importation. A general rule of banning is pretty plain speaking to me - as I understand plain English.
