Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Arms Bill

General requirements - Requirements for possession of standard firearms, airguns, pistols, restricted weapons, standard magazines, non-restricted parts, ammunition, etc - Requirements for possession of parts of restricted weapons

28: Requirements for possession of parts of restricted weapons

You could also call this:

"Rules for having parts of restricted guns"

Illustration for Arms Bill

You can only have parts of restricted weapons if you have a firearms licence. This licence must say you can have restricted weapons. There may be other rules that say something different. You must follow the rules or you might get in trouble. If you break the rules without a good reason, you could go to prison for up to 3 years. This is a proposed new rule to help keep people safe.
