They're trying hard to do shit like that here in Sweden too. Tried pushing some bs that all magazines would require permits and now they've come up with some new hairbrained idea that some calibers are to be put on a list of "especially dangerous" Basically every round over .22 will be on it so that's fun.
Kiwifag here, I feel your pain.
Big oof
Is it really as bad as the media propageted? All selfloading rifles gone?
Well in terms of the law the semi-auto centrefire rifles are "gone", in reality there are still probably 200k+ in now illegal circulation. Though no one is using them in public other than our outlaw mc and ethnic gangs.
We can still have them with the correct licencing as collectors but it is quite difficult to get, I haven't bothered. This basically means my collection of functioning automatic lmg's and select-fire rifles are less restricted than a remington 7400 hunting rifle. For a pest control licence it is even more difficult so now various areas are being overrun with rabbits, goats and wallabies because no one can be fucked shooting them now that the most effective tools for the job are unobtainable.
We can still have semi-auto rimfire and shotgun as federated farmers & fish and game (farmer & game bird hunter lobbyists) pushed for it but we are limited on mag size to 10 for rimfire & centrefire bolt/lever and 5 for all shotguns though this is "commensurate to chamber size", one could theoretically use more than 5 smaller shells in a 3.5" chambered shotgun but this hasn't been challenged in court as for obvious reasons no one wants to be a martyr. They have also recently banned pump action centrefire rifles to match the ban on shotguns with detachable mags as well as restricting ownership of pistol carbine kits.
It's pretty bad, the NZ media were complicit in perpetuating our governments lie that it was only "assault rifles and military style semi automatics" affected, they failed to mention that all semi-automatic centrefire rifles were reclassified as "military style semi automatics", ironically the actual "assault rifles" were not touched in any of the law changes, probably because a few of our politicians own substantial personal collections themselves.
They punished almost 300k Kiwi's due to the actions of an Australian who somehow received a firearms licence within 6 weeks of being in the country, that is a fact that Police, Govt and Media continue to sweep under the rug and refuse to answer any questions on.
Really big oof
Sounds bad. The feds fucked up and everyone gets punished. Know that from here
So most gun owners had a boating accident? Or does no one actually care about the left over rifles? Where they all registered?
oof, i'm so sorry.
Retard politic from retards for noone.
I just hate the EU for stepping so hard right now. They actually don't have the legaslative jurisdiction to change interal politics of the member states.
But steppers love it and make laws, that are even stricter than requried. Here in germany they overshot the new eu law.
Gotta change my country soon
Agreed but where the fuck are we supposed to move? US is basically off the table now. Is there some African nation where you can live freely enough by greasing some palms maybe?
Alaska.
No matter how commie the rest of America becomes you can be sure Alaska won't go down without a fight, which there won't be one because ironically snowflakes can't handle the cold hard north and won't bother.
My destination atm is estonia. They just ignored the EU steppers, even kept full auto legal
Strangely enough full auto is still "legal" here in Sweden. Not easy to get permits for but it's still doable.
