Should be 2023
So how will the register "make it easier to identify the small (?) group in the community who might be in possession of firearms for illegitimate or criminal purposes" ?
Do these numpties really believe this stuff?
well SOME of us have done it multiple times over the years WITH POLICE KNOWLEDGE AND APPROVAL.... hold onto mates guns when situation at home is a bit on the dodgy side.......family member a bit off the rails.... domestic situation turned to custard.... got pissed and been a dick in public...... made suicidal comment once too often...... licence has expired or renewal hasnt come through yet..shifted house and hasnt got locable storage sorted yet...partner doesnt want guns in house(arguably time for new partner).. moving over seas for year or two.... which brings up the many firearms in long term storage lockers/containers while owners are off on the big OE.... cant see them being registered anytime soon.

It hath been spoken from “the pulpit of truth” in Wellington so (sadly) most of the unenlighted public (Joe or Jane voter) will swallow this (bullshit) as fact. The biased journalists/press will make sure the “unenlightened” are frequently reminded of this “fact” (lies) regardless that it is incorrect and misleading
I can see how it would discourage the small number of licence holders who engage in trade of used arms to non licensed or criminals.
That's the only benefit I see. Otherwise it's going to cost me money and they will no doubt limit the number of rifles I "need" at some point.
Hmmmm! It concerns me greatly that there are only two options for providing the information (use the website or phone). I have an absolute personal aversion to using the website and I feel that providing the information via telephone exposes us to the operator on the other end of the line mis hearing, mis inputting or plain old suffering from dyslexia and fucking up the detail. I have no issue with providing the information in printed form to the arms officer at the local Police Station but I feel this to be unnecessary as I provided a list eight months ago and nothing has changed so all I ought to need to do is say “refer to the information you should already have on file.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
