As an example, under their new S43A system for mail order (prior to the register starting) I was supposed to recieve an email with the from from a buyer to confirm their details....What did I get? The email had THREE forms attached.....The police sent me 3 forms with names, addresses and firearm details of 3 purchases - four of which I was not dealing with but I now know where they live, who bougth what and their license number meaning there is probably firearms at EACH and EVERY address. The kincker is that in all probability all of those people probably got my details as well.......And then the details were left ina bin in Auckland where they managed to lose hundreds of these to god knows who.....

Whats to gain...Nothing,,,whats to lose- maybe the same but quite possibly everything

Very good point. so why are you not selling all your rifles and handing in your firearms license if you are so keen on frontrunning the "inevitable" ?

Because in spite of my age I still have a quota (albeit diminishing) of common sense.

Happy to believe the statement about your age. On the rest lets agree to disagree.

Death is also inevitable, not rushing there either.....
