Arms Legislation Bill
Proposed amendment
Brett Hudson, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
New clause 45A
After clause 45 (page 52, after line 25), insert:
45A Section 33A amended (Further conditions of endorsement in respect of prohibited firearm or prohibited magazine)
(1)
Repeal section 33A(1)(c)(iii).
(2)
Replace section 33A(2) with:
(2)
Subsection (1)(d) does not permit the Commissioner to require that the removed vital part be kept at a separate address from the prohibited firearm.
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Arms Legislation Bill. It changes the requirement for the separate storage of a vital part of a prohibited firearm to be the same as that for restricted firearms, requiring that the firearm be rendered inoperable by the removal of a vital part but that the vital part does not have to be stored at a separate physical address.
We have a bizarre situation at the moment where a fully automatic assault rifle (such as an M16) can have a firing element removed and securely stored at the same physical location, whereas a variant which is only semi-automatic has to have that element stored at a physically separate location.
