It's A FREE SOCIETY .. ??

 .. So I decided that I fancied a new 'SoftAir' plastic pellet toy gun to practice (play) with at home. 

- Did you know that here in New Zealand the retailers are instructed by police that you may not buy such a toy unless you prove that you are a member of a toy gun club?   

"The reason we need you to belong to an airsoft club isn't our decision but is a sales condition given by the firearms office on our import permits."

- I explained that I was an endorsed Firearms License holder and member of my local Target Pistol Club, but

 ..To order an Airsoft Gun, you will need to provide us with a proof of age and proof of airsoft club membership (for restricted airsoft guns) before we can dispatch your order.

1. With your proof of age, we will require you to take a close up photo of your face with your ID being held up next to your face.

Please email this photo to support ..............

What a total load of bollocks - WHAT SORT OF A POLICE STATE HAS NEW ZEALAND BECOME?

To be clear - The item concerned is a plastic and pot metal homage to a Glock pistol that releases harmless lightweight 6 mm plastic beads.

It really is time to get angry about the imposition of such stupid restrictions - if you value basic human rights & freedom.
