The reason I tried to find it is Gun control NZ want the distance extended from the existing? distance.
Their proposed distance, and I cannot recall what it was, maybe the 900 metres, means I would not be able to do rabbit control on my block.
This despite my nearest neighbour being a long way away.

They probably just copy+pasted something from another country that does have a specific distance. A bit like how IIRC the greens copied their firearms policy word for word from their Canadian equivalent and ended up referring to things that don't even exist in NZ law.
