Gun laws in New Zealand!!
Nearly 250,000 licensed firearms owners own and use New Zealand’s estimated 1.5 million firearms. As in Australia, but unlike the US and Canada, gun laws usually gain the support of both major parties before they are passed. Guns are not currently a major political issue…
Gun licences are issued at the discretion of the police in New Zealand provided the police consider the person to be of good standing…
Several different categories of licenses are permitted, with the lowest one permitting access to restricted semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, with limited capacity, while the higher levels which permit fully automatic weaponry and pistols are rarely issued to civilians.
