Submission on the Arms Regulations: Review of Fees 2022
Federated Farmers of New Zealand welcomes the opportunity to submit on the Arms Regulations: Review of Fees consultation document.
The use of firearms is essential in New Zealand rural communities, both as a tool on farms and for hunting and shooting as a recreational pastime. Firearms are used by our members for pest control, humane animal destruction and for recreational hunting and shooting. A 2019 Federated Farmers membership survey showed that 92% of our farmers reported having firearms present in their household or business. Unlike the majority of firearms users which are recreational, primary producers require access to appropriate firearms as an essential work tool.
