Three gun was fun while it lasted.
terrifying how quickly the government can change the rules.
I hope the compensation is market rate having spent $2500 on a new bushmaster a couple of months ago
As someone on the NZ prep board said - better prepared 10 years to early than 10 minutes to late....
i just feel sad it has completely demolished a legitimate sport.
Pistols appear to be safe.

Are cat a mssa's registered? If not, I doubt many will get handed in. Very few did in the 96 buyback in Aus.

No they aren't..........
But they have collected all the recent sales in from the big dealers - according to guy I bought ammo off yesterday - so Im imagine they will be actively seeking out recent sales. But I agree in regards to many purchased years ago.
I appreciate the risk they pose - but it will transpire he never should have had a Cat A and the ability to buy high capacity mags without a licence is crazy and has been pointed out to .gov a number of times, but they didn't change it - so he largely had access to fire-power due to ineptitude of police screening and a stupid rule the government were aware of - now all of the Cat E shooters (plus 1/2 the Cat A to be fair) have been screwed over and nothing we can do.

The course of action I would recommend isn't a course of action I can recommend.
My favourite line from the movie 'Clear and present danger'

I'm not sure what procedure will be put in place for the collection of your firearms and the issuing of compensation but when I handed my semis over in 97 the Public Serpent on the desk tried to quote me a price based on the fact that they were in "noticeably used condition". I told him "NO! brand new and in unfired condition", the nob tried to argue the point and I responded mate I either get paid for new guns or I walk from the table and these babies will not go in your furnace ever! He wrote me a chit for $4500 and I was on my way! I used that $4500 to buy even more new guns (legal ones)! I highly recommend scout rifle builds based on No4 Enfields of which there are some very talented Kiwi Gunsmiths doing some fantastic work with these!

Hard to pick which is the most deserving of scorn. Snowflakes who preach gun control and thus enable governments to restrict legitimate owners. Nutters who perpetrate the mass killings that give government the excuse to restrict legitimate owners. Or the Government for making use of these dysfunctional enablers to further their own cause.
Ha, ha , ha .... (sigh) ... no the choice is actually quite easy.

If reports here are accurate, the bed of the Murray River and its backwaters are littered with many, many A5's and PA shotguns. There were plenty of stories back in the 90's of duck shooters and pig hunters having terrible misfortune in keeping their boats upright. Lots of submerged obstacles ... the water is real murky so impossible to retrieve lost guns by diving for them.
It was extreme foolishness to ban the A5; a gentlemans and farmers tool. There were many of those in rural areas that were handed down thru a couple of generations and people were quite attached to them. Best fox gun ever! Not the sort of gun that nutters find sexy enough to act out their mass killing fantasies because Arnie or Stallone never used one in a movie.
