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.
