Rules Is Rules:

Shooting sports in New Zealand are being progressively strangled by regulation.

As sporting gun owners we all must surely know about the onerous, costly FIREARMS LICENCE requirements and REGISTRATION obligations.

You do know that the enforcers of those regulations, NZ POLICE are exempt from these laws?

But Wait - There's More ..

Are you aware of other regulations that limit and control the TRANSPORT and STORAGE of our sporting goods and ammunition?

Have you tried lawfully sending a firearm to someone lately?

Do you know what a CLASS 1 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE is? 

Have you tried buying BLACK POWDER muzzleloading propellants recently? - It would cost more than $200 a tin BUT nobody has any for sale.

Do you know what a 'CSL' is? : - CSL a CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE LICENCE

Do you know the definition of what a 'PCBU' is? - PCBU: a PERSON CONDUCTING A BUSINESS OR UNDERTAKING

Do you have a compliance certificate, that is required for a hazardous substance location under Part 9, 10, 11, or 12 (except regulation 9.36) and is renewed at intervals not exceeding 12 months (unless that period is extended under regulation 8.2).

Are you familiar with the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 - There are 12 complex chapters parts of these regulations (currently) .. written in remarkably obtuse language.

You can Google it .. it might take a few weeks to try reading it and to try to understand.

- Likely you have heard about the SHOOTING RANGE Regulations that are causing range shut-downs and that currently there are amendments processing through Parliament ..

- These are additional to objections about Noise Complaints etc by Councils and individuals.

I wonder if those Range Regulations are being observed by The Police College RANGE ..

Have NZ civilian Police activated a "triggering event" requiring them to comply and REGISTER ALL thousands of their rifles, high capacity magazines, pistols, grenade launchers and sub-machine guns ..?

WAKE UP

Are YOU 'FIT & PROPER' ?
