SSANZ COMMENT: REVIEW of the MSSA Judgement (Lincoln.R vs NZ Police)
While the recent judgement that Mr Richard Lincoln’s H&K SL8 rifle is not a MSSA is a welcome one, it is far too early for firearms owners to rejoice and to think the MSSA stock issue is now settled. It is not. This ruling was only ever about the SL8 rifle. While by implication it significantly weakens the police case against other A -category semi-automatic rifles that have similar sporting stocks, it does not destroy it altogether.

NZ Guns and Hunting March 2010Why do our violent crime rates keep going up? Could it be our gun laws and the message they send to criminals? The simplistic belief behind gun control is that the guns of otherwise law-abiding citizens “cause” crime. Thus, fewer guns in a society must mean less crime and, in their simple minded gun free Utopia no guns equals no crime.

SSANZ comment – same old stories – we know better than you do, control criminals by restricting legal gun ownership, but with a new Asian twist – make it more difficult so you have to bribe someone to get a licence.
