I agree in ...I voted No. I'll be clear on that. I agree in principle on the opposition to this new 'reinterpretation'. But being the person that I am, I like people to carefully consider all the angles and think about things in a different way.<br />If Police are required to convene with the Govt if they want to change a law, so be it. But in this case, honestly, I dont think they are changing any laws. 'Reinterpret' is just that. The majority of our argument about the senselessness of MSSA rules is really a moot point. The introduction of the new E license class and classification of MSSA's is a done deal. Its all over. We missed the boat on preventing that. So there isnt so much sense in stating the obvious by saying how illogical the police were in their reasons for introducing it.<br />The point I making is, if you wanted to describe what a military pattern free standing pistol is, then those are practically the best choice of words anyway. Trying to adjoin the bottom of the grip to something (weather at home with wire, or by design in the ATI stock factory), just so it is no longer 'free standing' is just a not so cunning way of trying to bypass the law by way of its wording, which is not entirely successful, because its still a military pattern pistol grip. Personaly, and I think some of you will agree, I was suprised this even flew in the first place, and most of us knew, it wouldn't last forever.<br />If the police want to crack down on enforcing a law thats already in place, no amount of public outcry will stop them. However, since I know many of you are already fuming at me, I am also not prepare just to roll over and accept this, because it just gives the NZP the impetus to make roads into the introduction of more control legislation, with their insidious eventual goals of taking away what we love. That is what I really hate, and that is why Id like to support Richard Lincoln, COLFO, and others who are making personal sacrifices to ensure our sport and hobby survives.Wilconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717565192208399747.post-90594270336107504882009-07-02T16:58:28.155+12:002009-07-02T16:58:28.155+12:00You have my support.

This new definition could capture the use of bipods as well which is simply ludicrous. Remember there are also fore grips that have a bipod function such as the "Grip Pod", where does it all end? <br />Police need to be discouraged from making further nonsensical interpretations of the Arms Act definitions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717565192208399747.post-87707045051486142762009-07-01T14:13:04.043+12:002009-07-01T14:13:04.043+12:00I also don't believe a fore grip is a military...I also don't believe a fore grip is a military pattern free standing pistol grip as you then get into the discussion of what constitutes a fore-grip. <br /><br />Is a bipod a fore-grip therefore a military pattern free standing pistol grip? It could be held in the same way as a fore-grip, (there is even bipod/fore-grip combination) still dosn't make one but in the mood the police seem to be in I'm sure they would like to do away with bipods on semi autos as well.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11993854629286436490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717565192208399747.post-61759144035565054202009-07-01T13:54:54.738+12:002009-07-01T13:54:54.738+12:00Your possibly right but I wouldnt feel 'safe&#...Your possibly right but I wouldnt feel 'safe' asserting that as a defence in a criminal proceeding.

To my mind, this means that it is - among other things - a grip for the trigger-hand, adjacent to the trigger.<br /><br />A fore-grip is <b>not</b> a pistol grip, it's just a grip.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703710433698645880noreply@blogger.com
