NSA activities:
1) The 2009 court case ensured that we still have thumbholes and Dragunov stocks despite the 2012 Amendment.
[plus the much easier importation of 'sporting configuration' ARs - which continues even after the 'Pistol Grip' regulation]
2) The word 'firearm' was replaced with 'semi-auto' to limit application of regulations to semis
[revealed by NSA opperative]
3) Attempt was made via SOP 036 to extend rimfire to those less than .22LR
[Introduced by Richard Prosser NZ First MP but opposed by MOP Judith Collins and not adopted]
4) The 'semi-auto' definition loophole has been publicised as was the ability for an endorsement holder to swap configurations
5) 'Free-standing' has a Judicial definition
6) The lack of need for a P2P when 'manufacturing' an MSSA for personal use has been Judicially clarified
7) That the requirement for security to be installed before the issue of an endorsement is 'premature' has been established
[ a discretionary condition cannot be placed upon an endorsement prior to its issue]
8) A formal complaint has been laid with the Regulations Review Committee regarding the new 'Pistol Grip' regulation
9) Research into a Judicial Review of the 'Pistol Grip' (and other possible) regulations is in train
10) Ongoing investigation into 'blanket policy' transgressions underway
[this is a biggie - an attempt was made to get NSA to agree not to persue any more matters in this area - they continue]
[Already case law in this area - way back in 1990's PSI vs COP - some NSA 'oldies' were there too]
11) Information presented on this very website has been ongoing.
12) All 'authorities' efforts to obtain NSA membership lists and number of members have been resisted - It's a SECRET!
13) You can help by continuing to contribute to the advancement of your interests ... or not - that is your choice!
[Thank you for previous assistance]
That is the short list - add to that a considerable number of cases where NSA has given private assistance and been involved in serveral other matters in Court. Plus the NSA submission to the Law & Order Select Committee - and several individual NSA members submissions as well
