Changes to firearms law - prohibited firearms
Last updated 24 April 2019
New firearms laws are now in effect amending the Arms Act by:
The newly banned items will be called prohibited firearms, prohibited magazines, and prohibited parts. New offences involving prohibited items carry tougher penalties.
Transitional provisions allow for an amnesty until six months after the buy-back is announced so that those in possession of prohibited items have time to notify Police and can hand over their firearm/s to Police at a later stage when we advise of that process.
The below video by Senior Sergeant Patrick Hannon shows examples of firearms people are still able to use, as well as firearms that are now prohibited.
We request that people do not hand in firearms to Police at this stage.
The collection of firearms will occur at a later stage and you will be advised of the process for this. Please complete the firearm notification form via the button below.
If this is your first time notifying New Zealand Police of your intention to hand in firearms please use the online form via the button below.

It is important existing pest controllers note themselves as pest controllers when completing the form if they intend to apply for an exemption.

Police encourages any person now in possession of a firearm to safely secure it and notify Police by completing the online form or calling 0800 311 311. This will enable Police to contact you in the future about the process for handing in your firearm/s and about the buy-back for prohibited items.

Notifying Police of the prohibited items you are holding will mean you can be contacted about compensation and the process for handing in your prohibited item when details are finallised.

--- THE HISTORY OF 'GUN CONTROL' ---
Every genocide or holocaust in history has been preceded by revolutionary, military or civilian disarmament (Gun Control).
In 1890, the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment, disarmed Big Foot's (Chief Spotted Elk) band of Lakota (Sioux) near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Shots were fired, and unable to defend themselves, 90 men, and 200 women and children were murdered. At least 20 soldiers of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment received the 'Congressional Medal of Honor' for this! This event is known as the 'Wounded Knee Massacre'.
There are many other American Indian - U.S.A. conflicts before the year 1900 of disarmament (gun control) of Native warriors, causing some tribes the hardship of walking to Indian reservations or Indian Territory, and some of their chiefs and others treated as prisoners-of-war and being put in prison, hanged, shot or exiled.
The Ottoman Empire (present day Turkey) established gun control in 1911. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and nearly exterminated. This represents 50% of the 3 million Armenians who lived in the Ottoman Empire then. This event is known as the 'Armenian Holocaust' or the 'Armenian Genocide'.
The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin established gun control in 1929. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and murdered.
Under Adolf Hitler, Germany established gun control in 1938. From 1939 to 1945, 13 million dissidents, 6 million being Jews, were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up, murdered, and for the Jews, nearly exterminated, because that was Adolf's policy, to exterminate the Jewish [Hebrew] race! For the Jews: this was 1 out of 3, or 6 million out of 18 million Jews worldwide who were exterminated in the NAZI concentration camps. Every Jew today has a story to tell concerning a relative murdered in the concentration camps. This event is known as the 'Holocaust'.
Under Mao Tse Tung, a revolutionary Communist leader, and later the 1st Chairman of the Communist Party of China, had gun control established in parts of China and then mainland China as a whole, starting in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and murdered. Mao's stated philosophy was "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.", meaning gun control gives him the power to take over. From 1966-1977, there was the Great Proletarian 'Cultural Revolution' where millions of Chinese were persecuted by the Red Guards including harassment, public humiliation, hard labor, imprisonment, torture, seizure of property and execution.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! In 1941, Japanese Marshal-Admiral of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto [a Harvard grad], had said, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and murdered.
Uganda, under Idi Amin Dada, established gun control in 1971. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, religious leaders, journalists, artists, senior bureaucrats, judges, lawyers, students and intellectuals, criminal suspects, and foreign nationals, unable to defend themselves, were murdered.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. Under Pol Pot, from 1975 to 1977, one million educated Cambodians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and murdered.
56 million defenseless people rounded up and murdered in the 20th Century because of gun control.
Since the creation of Islam in 622 AD, Islamic nations have adhered to the Qu'ran, Hadith, Sharia Law, or Islamic Law, which considers non-Muslims (Jews, Christians, atheists) to be infidels who are to be fought in order to be converted to Islam or murdered. Since 622 AD, hundreds of millions of non-Muslims in the Middle East have been murdered, and their churches and synagogues destroyed or converted to mosques, because they did not convert. Wouldn't it be good if these non-Muslims had been armed?
Today in America, Chicago and Detroit which have had a history of having the strictest gun control, have had the highest murder rate in America. Gun control, as a means of exterminating its citizens, or controlling crime and protecting law abiding citizens, has been a dismal failure in every nation it was introduced throughout history!
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property, but gun-control laws will be against the law-abiding citizens.
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. With guns, we are "citizens". Without them, we are "subjects".
Concerning Switzerland:
-- Nearly every household in Switzerland has a gun!
-- Switzerland's government trains every adult whom they issue a rifle.
-- SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
It's time to speak loud before the Dems (Leftist, Socialists) and other anti-2nd amendment believers silence and disarm us Americans.
History has shown that tyrannical governments always manipulate tragedies in an attempt to disarm the people.
Don't let our U.S. government waste millions of our tax dollars in an effort to make all law-abiding American citizens an easy target with gun control! If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message everywhere you can that you are a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment (the right to own a gun)!
Guns ...
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
