Hi all
Living in New Zealand, law abiding firearms owners are being selected, politically, for a Coalition Gov't's planned return to power in elections due 2021.
As such, AR, AK style firearms are now 'prohibited' firearms under legislation called an 'Order in Council', which bypasses Parliamentary oversight.
Those of you who have an interest in international news will already be aware of our situation, and how a tragedy in one of our major cities, March this year, has opened the door for anti-gun behaviour by vote seeking politicians.
Law is also being rushed through to make it more difficult to get a firearms license, as well as identifying Police 'wishlist' items, that DO NOT target the criminal fraternity, only the law abiding.
As handguns are a restricted item, licensing procedures are enforced heavy handedly.
I have fired a variety of handguns here, as well as in the US.
22, 9mm, 38 Super, 45 semi-autos plus revolvers in 38 Spl, 357 Mag, 44 Mag and 500 S&W.
I like handguns but the hurdles are getting higher and taking too much time to get through the system.
So I read and enjoy the posts from handgun shooters in the US.
At 70 I'm enjoying firearms - mainly rifle, and shortly to reestablish a love affair with shotguns and claybirds.
That's my story folks
