Gun politics in New Zealand
About 230,000 licensed firearms owners own and use New Zealand's estimated 1.1 million firearms.〔"Kiwis go for the big guns", ''Dominion Post'', Tuesday 7 November 2006. Quoted at (Gun Control blog ) (archive), but not available from the newspaper's website any more.〕 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, but have been immediately after the Aramoana massacre in 1990, and the Scottish Dunblane and Australian Port Arthur massacres in 1996.
Various governments, groups behind the Thorp report, and the New Zealand Police have pushed for various forms of universal firearm registration. This has currently not succeeded but current manoeuvrings by the New Zealand Police are attempting to reclassify large numbers of 'A' category firearms as 'E' category (MSSA), which requires them to be registered. This has been done though even by their own admission〔(New Zealand Police firearms control presentation )〕 the New Zealand Police cannot reliably register the current MSSA firearms.
In March 2009 the New Zealand police bid to reclassify certain types of civilian semi-automatic firearms was overturned by the New Zealand High Court as a result of a legal challenge mounted by the New Zealand National Shooters Association (NSA) president Richard Lincoln.
== Current firearm law ==
New Zealand's gun laws are notably more liberal than other countries in the Pacific and focus mainly on vetting firearm owners, rather than registering firearms or banning certain types of firearms.〔From the (Arms Code )〕 Firearms legislation is provided for in the ''Arms Act'' and its associated regulations, though stricter unofficial police and government policies also apply.
