Seems still a lot of confusion over this,maybe someone could clarify.

right so heres a bit of a tinfoil hat concept....
that book under counter...lets just say for arguments sake the cops in Timaru SUSPECT that so in so has bought gun but hasnt registered it..... a quick look in book...yip hes bought something..double check register,nope oh dear he is in the shit
lets suggest the same fella has already got "all" his guns on register and drops rifle in to have suppressor fitted....6 mths later some clever dick looks at the "book under counter" of the suppressor fitting company and hello hello whats this then???? joe bloggs got suppressor fitted onto a 7mm mag serial number #13579suckymotto and he DOESNT have that rifle registered...oh dear hes in the shit
but in typing that...if and when we good law abiding folks do get around to registering our firearms,being good law abiding folks we will do them all and hope for the best in future...its a case of kay sarah sarah and not a hell of a lot we can do about it
news on radio just now, the police top brass saying ACT saying they will repeal register is just vote grabbing..WELL HELLO that says something in itself does it not??? wait n see and dont stress..no point stressing about something you can do nothing about.
