Firearms Reform Programme 1 May 2019 Firearms Reform Programme Progress to date (as at 1 May 2019)

Why are we doing this? 15 March, 2019 – Christchurch terror attack – 51 people killed. Alleged offender uses military-style semi automatic (MSSA) firearm. In the wake of the terror attack, Government moved swiftly to amend Arms Act legislation. New provisions in the Arms Act 1983 came into force on 12 April, 2019. It is Police’s role to implement the law.

The Arms Act amendments: Ban most semi-automatic firearms and some pump action shotguns; and also certain parts and large capacity magazines. [There are limited exemptions for Dealers; Collectors and Animal Pest Controllers]. No longer a category of firearm known as a military style semi-automatic firearm (MSSA) and the old “E” endorsement is obsolete.  The newly-banned items are called prohibited firearms, prohibited magazines, and prohibited parts. New offences involving prohibited items carry tougher penalties.

Hand-in > collection > buy-back > transportation… The Act provides for Regulations to set compensation for prohibited items. Police online notification form enables public to notify Police of their intent to hand-in prohibited firearm/s. Amnesty also allows for non-prohibited firearms to be handed in (not eligible for buy-back). The Amnesty and buy-back period is envisaged to run for six months from the time the buy-back scheme and pricing is announced by Government (date yet to be confirmed). Processes during amnesty period (including notification, hand-in, collection, buy-back, transportation, destruction or return) being developed between PNHQ and districts; and NZ Defence Force providing support (logistics planning, collection, transportation and destruction).

What the public can do right now Complete the Online Notification Form – or call 0800 311 311 for assistance (including options for non-English speakers). Continue to keep their firearms stored safely and securely.

What does this look like for EBOP/BOP? 250,000 Firearms licence holders in NZ = 20% of NZ’ers Approx 1.2 - 2 million firearms are in someone’s possession in NZ BOP has 10% of all E CAT holders in NZ – this Category is now obsolete Police expect up to 25,000 firearms could be handed in BOP has had 38 handed in so far as of 1 May 2019

Resources available to you include… Police website FAQs Videos (e.g. duck shooting and prohibited vs legal firearms); Public Online Notification Form (for public to notify Police of intent to hand-in firearms and call 0800 311 311 if assistance is required)
