Back on topic.
I just heard on the news that many nz gun owners are already turning in their semi auto rifles.

If the NZ government goes down the path of banning them I think that it will be like here and they will only get the registered ones and the ones that are knackered.
If I heard right semi auto sporting rifles need to be registered in nz, but I donāt know how long thatās been the case.
But yes a buy back will be a massive, expensive waste of money.
Really, because thereās a buying frenzy.
Re registration, only certain types, but not all. Not the one that shitcan had in its original configuration.
Just saw a video on Facebookā¦ a rabbit is going towards a shooter and his friend on a road. The shooter shoots at about 10m mark, misses. Then again at about 5m mark missed abdollah then tries to stop it by kicking it.
Maybe thatās why we need semiautoā¦ to kill the waskly wabbit 
If they are shooting on a road they should have their firearms removed.
Can you share a link to that vid please? So we can use it as an example of what not to do.
As for hunting, hunting it not a need at all, but it is a legitimate hobby / pastime as Iām sure youād agree. Iām personally on a mission to swap out my hunting rifles for single shots, but that doesnāt change the fact that I would love to shoot targets with a bren gun.
I have shot all manner of semiauto rifles and shotguns (pre 96) and shot and carried modern military rifles and machine guns and they are great fun.
Iāve also shot artillery, itās even more fun. If I was allowed to own a howitzer (And was rich lol) Iād have one and Iād let you shoot it and I donāt think youād say no to the opportunity.
I think you should add medical care to that list of āneedā and most people need companionship/love

No, I would actually argue that hunting is much closer to need than want than target shooting is, which really is just a want, as is playing golf. But I prefer to eat free range, ethically harvested meat, taken from feral animals that would otherwise be damaging our environment. Yes I can buy farmed meat from the shop, and fill my need for protein, but itās not the same thing is it?

I think @GUN-DMC was following the logical train of thought, that @Gunmut established, rather than making an accretive statement.

Why donāt you get a muzzleloading cannon? Thereās not too many hoops to jump through. And I can put you in touch with a blacksmith who has legally made one - under an hour away from youā¦
I wish I could afford one mate, I know its just a cat B firearm here in Vic, legally I could take it out and hunt with it lol!
Set it up on a warren and go hunting wabbits.
I think you may be surprised how cheaply it can be done. Apart from feeding it of courseā¦

Hmmm 
Well spoken, but few little terms (e.g. truther) tells me heās a nutter. Then āsites bannedā - mmm, I donāt think so. Another conspiracy nutter.
Shadow ban however does exist, but itās a Twitter term, on YouTube there are no shadow bans, just bans. Mixing his conspiracies a little. And of course a sprinkle of Port Arthur. FMD, what a load of shit. Raiding people? What people!? Who? How? Unregisteredā¦ Too much face palm here.
God on him, needs to keep the mind active in his age. Wouldnāt take him seriously.
Listened to 13 minutes of it, that I will never get back. Too many nutters out there.
Was interesting watching but he sort of jumped around a bit.
I never seen the video that he talks about where he says that you can tell there is more than one shooter.
