| 764808 | 2009-04-14 02:05:00 | Deport the stupid ****ers. Yea. It's not illegal to have one but using it in a threatning manor is. They would probably be charged even if it was a toy gun that looked like a real gun. |

| 764809 | 2009-04-14 02:08:00 | www.police.govt.nz Waving any sort of weapon around whether an airgun or a plastic replica is against the law. It is deemed as threatening or intimidating. :) |

| 764810 | 2009-04-14 02:10:00 | Air guns are legal in New Zealand. Sometimes it may be just how you use them .303s are legal in New Zealand as well. Water pistols are legal in New Zealand also. Waving a firearm or even what looks like one in public is asking for trouble. It all depends on circumstances as usual. I own an air pistol but I would not walk around locally with the item in my pocket. I used to do rat control at work for example. A long time ago I used to get on public buses carrying a .303 where the bolt and magazine had been removed in order to transport myself from Wellington to Wainuiomata to walk into the hunting ground in the Orongorongo Valley. The bolt, magazine and any ammunition were in my pack. |

| 764813 | 2009-04-14 05:35:00 | It's an airgun. just 'cos it's air-powered, that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Not too long ago there was that poor cop who was killed with an airgun. They are pretty useful though, pretty good for small pest control. Nice and cheap ammunition too. |

| 764814 | 2009-04-14 06:13:00 | air guns are restricted weapons. you either need a licence or be over 18 to buy or use one. that includes soft air and paintball guns. its not often paintball guns look like real guns so they are not a big problem. however softair replica firearms are exactly that, firearms and need to be treated as such. so when you give your kids an MP5 softair gun to play with out on the street, not only are you breaking the law, but you better hope that the AOS guys are not trigger happy ! there was a case some years ago just outside of auck, where police stopped a car and one of the car occupants pointed a toy gun at the police, police quite rightly shot and killed him. |
