Let’s say hypothetically the there is 1000 items to be registered, what if the first third are inaccurate data (ie people not knowing what is the correct number to give, or just guessing, or providing incomplete or incorrect didgits)

The next third is false or misleading data (people will do this intentionally)

The last third is the massive number of guns that don’t have or no longer have visible serials (and no doubt it will end up being #1 or something daft getting stamped where we will see repeating serials

Then you get another 1000 items added, that either get entered correctly, or are not entered at all.

If it’s getting bad data from the get go En mass which I’m sure it will, they will have lost the race before even Turing the car on.


One would think if there is a high rate of inaccuracy consistently and from the start, they will either bleed dry of cash and admit defeat, or we are about to witness the biggest gross misuse of public funds NZ has ever seen.

The definition of insanity is trying to do the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome.

You just described the multi billion dollar hole that was Canadas attempted registry.....Your last line pretty much sums up this govt in a sentence...
