A new buy back has been announced today. Seems we are no longer allowed pump actions from what I can make out from the media release. | ||

Huh.....? What's the big threat from pump actions that makes a buy-back necessary ??? Or has the cancel culture raised it's ugly profile in NZ now ? Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

Because they can right now I suspect. I think the reasoning in detachable magazines and speed of fire. | |||

I think (more hope to) that only detachable magazine CF rifles, as I don't want to lose my old Model 14's & 14 1/2's, already had to modify mag down to 10 shot same as my old Win levers ! If you look to Aussie you will maybe see why the pumps are going ?   Still wrong but way it is now ! | |||

The time is approaching - but not here yet - when firearms owners in this country will simply stop complying. Being a soft target eventually pisses people off enough that they start resisting. ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

Will be fine, as long as no dick head importer tries to bring it in with a 10 shot mag and loudly market it. | |||

You could own any straight pull rifle when I lived Australia 2010-2013. I can't see them going after them. Can you still own pump shotguns? I think these were on a knife edge of anti-legislation when I left. | |||

"Can you still own pump shotguns? I think these were on a knife edge of anti-legislation when I left.[/QUOTE] If you mean Australia, the Pump shotguns went in 96 same as the semis . In NZ still can have them if less than 5 round capacity fixed mag . | |||

That is the result of a carefully stage-managed response to a pandemic , and the power of a media who refuse to publish anything except adoration. ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

Sorry to hear they are banning slide-action rifles. We missed that bullet, probably because Johnny and his 'wise' advisers didn't know they existed. My son's Remington 7600 35 Whelen is one of the best sambar rifles I can think of and we would hate to lose it. However, I constantly see the small patrol versions tarted up with pistol-grip stock and long magazines - and they really worry me. I even saw one for sale that the owner had painted battleship grey. I believe that firepower is only half the issue in those mass shootings. The maniacs are often gamers, used to games where assault rifles are the default weapon and, wanting the game to stay the same, most will stay at the computer if they can't get the right gun. Sooner or later, though, one will be so desperate to ape Rambo that he will settle for something that just looks like an assault rifle and then law-abiding shooters will be in strife again. I suggest that Australians lean on the distributers to stop importing those patrol rifles, 10-shot magazines and the provocative juvenile accessories, to stave off that possibility. | |||

Like all things, its the nuance that eludes politicians. They think they know whats best and rarely stop to consider their knowledge is lacking. Most of these pumps have flush fitting 5 round or less mags. They can not work out that simple regulations around higher capacity magazines would have achieved the same result. What I truely fear is the day when some fucken nut job walks into a room with a cut down 303 LE. The type of rifle and the magazine is definitely secondary to proper background checks and ensuring shit heads dont get guns. But thats much harder and less public attention grabbing than saying they are banning guns. | |||

Boy, Id miss my mod. 12 Rem. 22, and the light 20 ga. mod 12,s and how about those mod. 25s in 25-20 and 32-20 fun guns, then the mod 14 and 81s in 25, 30, 32, 35 Remington caliber....I don't see any of these as potentially more dangerous than any other rifle...Those officials need to be tarred and feathered..
