I think both COLFO and NSA promote safe gun ownership, shooting sports and hunting.

We know historically (from 1992) that in the aftermath of legislation that places unjustified restrictions on...

I only jumped on here to add some balance to the comments of KScott. The original discussion seemed to set the scene for a NSA v COLFO debate. I think NSA and COLFO are chalk and cheese and a...

Happy I don't really follow what you're saying but if I can clarify the comment quoted above.

I was not complaining about personal abuse. My point was that trying to negate the validity of a...

I'm not sure what I will do if AAB285 is enacted (and there are some doubts that it will be) but if anyone decides that being told you can't hold your firearm 3 degrees more to the vertical without a...

Im sorry to but you are mistaken. I have read several recent NZ cases that do deal with the issue of possession for the purposes of the Arms Act. Robertson v Police is the most prevalent authority....

Well AAB285 is a law. You have said that you are intending to comply with that law, but also that you would not comply with a law that restricted your Sunday morning sleep in.

I wanted to find...

@Happy

We would appreciate it if you did not copy material from the NSA forum and publish it elsewhere. Doing so raises privacy issues and content ownership issues for NSA and its members. You are...

So that is affirmative. You would resort to civil disobediance if the government tried to legislate away your right to lay in bed on Sunday morning.

Do you think that all males in New Zealand...

Ryan: can you answer this question. Is there any law that the government could enact, that you would not obey?

Good on you ! For a 17 year old to make a moral decision regardless of the law is a sign of maturity and self determination. When you later read of the origins of the Magna Carta, the words of St...

I have stated that we ought to agree to disagree on this issue. If you have some case law or other authority that you can advance the topic with, I would be very interested to hear it. If your...

Toby the police cannot make a weapon illegal. This is why it is important to be accurate in the wording that you use. There is no such thing as an illegal weapon.

I understand you are 17. I...

Toby, what is an illegal weapon ?

With all due respect Rushy, that is a different question. You could disposses yourself of your income by spending it; that does not make it exempt from tax. The question here is, if you spent your...

Yes I agree: I think it is important when discussing legal issues to be accurate. The Arms Act refers to "restricted weapons" and the regulations deem certain objects, ranging from tasers and pepper...

I ought to clarify that I am not discussing anything about weapons. What I am discussing here are firearms; sporting equipment used for recreational and occupational shooting. Weapons in New Zealand...

Thanks for your clarification.

Section 50 of the Arms Act is a penal provision that makes it an offence to be in unlawful possession of a pistol, MSSA or restricted weapon. Section 66 of the...

In answer to the last few replies to this thread:

@Savage1: Im not sure what in your opinion is a 'prohibited weapon'. As far as I am aware, the only weapons that are prohibited in NZ are...

Thankyou for your series of Replys KSCott.

Civilian gun owners widely supported and financed the resistance and court case which ruled against the police attempts to legislate sporting firearms...

Thanks for your comments GIMP. NSA has not encouraged anyone to bury an illegal gun. It is not clear what you are refering to when you say "illegal gun." I have never heard of a gun being charged,...
