    it's like saying that having a drivers licence is fine but having to register your car is some sort of orwellian nightmare.
    Well for a start they’ve already had one cock up, how would you like your details, firearm numbers and types falling into the wrong hands?
    A shopping list for criminals. How would you like having a knock on your door one night by a few gang members coming round to fill their shopping list?

    They don't have to wait for a data breach for that to happen.

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    A data breach will make their job a bit easier

    B, C and P are already registered and would be desirable to thieves. At the moment farms are the obvious source of firearms, I don't know any farm without firearms so thieves will target us if they are desperate, but so far firearms do not seem to be something they are targeting over other easily sold items.

    I oppose the register because of the cost at a time when the country needs to save money. The theft issue does not seem quite so much of an issue to me, but this is probably because all the local mongrel mob guys know I have firearms already so I will not be any worse off with the registry.

    For some of us it won’t be the first time
