Imagine how easily universal registration would be handled!

Absolutely fool proof and 120% accurate, just like the last time.

This case highlights the few flaws we have in our firearms licensing system. IMHO we have it pretty much right here in NZ where the Police do their best to ensure those that shouldn't be licenced for firearm ownership are excluded. Obviously in this case there was a a failure of some sort. If this person had foreign convictions? then thats an information sharing issue between NZ and whoever.

IMHO there are still questions to be asked of the person/business that sold firearms to this now convicted criminal.

NZ firearms laws are fairly reasonable - a few tweaks here and there would see it being the best worldwide - a bit of liberalisation around semi autos for example. However its cases like this that fuck it up for every law abiding gun owner.

It is election year this year and those with a strong firearms interest should start searching out those parties that have an interest in what we do. I know this forum is anti protecting our interests through political intervention, but for the stronger minded members here its worth investigating. Otherwise your rights as gun owners are only ever going to decrease.
