I’m emailing you because you’ve previously supported ACT’s work defending the rights of licensed firearms owners. Like me, you’re probably sick and tired of what you’ve been hearing from Labour for the past few years.
Well, I’ve got some news I’m excited to share with you. Today, ACTis releasing its proposed firearms policy for consultation – I’d love to hear your feedback.
I’ve heard from Deerstalkers Associations and firearms clubs up and down New Zealand who feel like they’ve been scapegoated and had a whole load of regulations forced on them without ever being asked for input.
That’s why ACT has always stood up for LFOs and always promised that any policy would include thorough consultation with the LFO community. You can make your voice heard and provide feedback by emailing firearmspolicy@act.org.nz.
Some highlights of ACT’s policy include:
• Creating a separate, truly independent Firearms Safety Authority for licensing administration
• Scrapping the firearms registry
• Introducing a three-tier licensing system which recognises that all firearms pose a threat in the wrong hands, and that licencing the individual is the key to preventing misuse. This system will adopt a risk mitigation approach without outright banning possession of semi-automatics.
• Instant licence disqualification for gang membership
• Recognising overseas offences in the vetting process.
The full policy can be viewed here.
Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to hearing your feedback.
Yours sincerely,
Nicole McKee
