They said they just want the scary rifles....you know, the millions of rifles that weren't used to kill anyone.....they were only going to take semi-auto rifles because those are the bad ones...even though they aren't used to kill anyone when law abiding people own them in New Zealand...
And now, for the bait and switch......did anyone think that Pump Action shotguns would also be banned? Well....that little surprise had to be hidden......
Never trust the anti-gunners.....they want all the guns, all of them...
New Zealand Semiautomatic Ban Covers Pump Shotguns Too
Titled the Arms (Prohibited Firearms, Magazines, and Parts) Amendment Bill, the legislation goes beyond a ban on MSSAs, instead banning semiautomatic rifles in general “with some exceptions.” The legislation also bans magazines that can hold “more than 10 cartridges and can be used with a semi-automatic or fully automatic firearm.” The bill also bans gun parts “that can be applied to enable, or take significant steps towards enabling, a firearm to be fired with, or near, a semi-automatic action.”
And there is more—the legislation bans pump action shotguns “capable of being used with a detachable magazine.” Pump shotguns with a fixed, tubular magazine capable of holding more than five rounds are banned as well.
The bill gives law-abiding owners of such firearms an amnesty period to surrender the guns to police. The amnesty ends September 30, 2019.
