    Buy ammo online = activating event?

    OK, buying ammo isn't an activating event for the firearms registry.
    But how about an online purchase? You need to get the Police form sorted out and that means you have interacted with the Police.
    So is that an activating event?
    Thanks.

    The way I read it, is yes, if you get a permit processed -regardless of what its for - it is an activating circumstance.

    Getting a mail order permit is an activating circumstance (so I'm reliably informed). I think an import permit is the same - in these cases its the compliance interaction with the regulator.

    Oh Bum! That's OK...I can get ammo locally anyway.
    Just thought I might try some different makes of rimfire ammo.
    Thanks guys.

    The mail order form is the triggering event. Not the ammunition purchase.

    The evil deceitful pricks conveniently left that out of the activating circumstances prior to registration going live! I was going to buy a couple Anschutz rimfire mags off Reloaders Supplies before registration came in, I checked the website and it only said restricted magazines triggered registration, so not being a restricted mag and being short of money at the time I didn't bother thinking I'd be fine to buy some later on, kicking my self now! Maybe some GC in Auckland may just accidentally buy a couple that they then don't require and want to give them away? I'd be more than happy to pay the $330 for postage, wink wink.

    No it isn't. Getting a police mail order form is not an activating event. It is all quite clearly written on their website what the activating events are.

    https://www.firearmssafetyauthority....ms-law-changes

    "When arms items must be registered
    The regulations specify the “activating circumstances” that will trigger licence holders to engage with the Registry, including when licence holders:
    apply for a licence or an endorsement
    have a change in circumstances, such as a change of address
    sell or supply, purchase or receive, import, export, manufacture or modify an arms item
    report the theft, loss or destruction of an arms item
    import ammunition
    sell ammunition (dealers and ammunition sellers only)
    purchase ammunition after 24 June 2025, or
    are subject to compliance or enforcement action by Police under the Act or regulations."


    From
    https://www.firearmssafetyauthority....our-arms-items

    "When you purchase ammunition – from 24 June 2025
    The first time you purchase ammunition from 24 June 2025, you must register all arms items in your possession within 30 days of this activating circumstance.
    You do not need to register the ammunition itself."

    Mail order form for a suppressor is an activating event. I tried to talk to the AO about this but there were no ifs, buts, maybes.
    The email you receive has this detailed and by then it's too late.
    So expect the same for ammo

    Getting a mail order permit is not an activating event though getting an import permit is. As for buying ammunition by mail order our club had it confirmed that purchasing ammunition by mail order is NOT an activating event, yet.
