Thread: Buy ammo online = activating event?

Recent story , I m not sure if it is 100% true in the details, but here it is anyway:
A guy in north island sees on the net some ammo sold by a gun shop in South Island .
He contacts a local gunshop in the north island, ask if they could buy the ammo and then he would buy it off them in person. North island gunshop agrees and get the ammo. The guy gets the ammo from the north gunshop in person with his gun licence.
A little bit later, he receives a first email from registry authorities saying that he had triggered an event and needed to register his guns.
He ignored that email, treating it as a spam. He receives another email a week later . He replied that he didn’t think it triggered anything provided the circumstances. A week later receive another email saying that the cop will be there to pick up his guns within a week if he does not act immediately. So the guy did not want to fight back anymore and registered all his guns. And he is bit gutted now that he knows what he knows…
