Thread: Firearms Registry Consultation Open

https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-se...try?nondesktop

What's everybody's thoughts?

Dumb idea that you if you buy ammunition you have to enter the info on all your firearms in the registry - it will result in an early flood of info and crash the whole system.

Heaven help us - the amount of information required is detailed.

They expect everyone to update the registry themselves online - I can say "fuck that" - it will be quicker to fill in the forms and make the police update the registry - they then have the responsibilty for keying errors - let them waste their time at the kepboard.

Every temporary transfer of 30 days - well - they best hurry up the licence renewal process or licence holders will be needing to notify thousands of transfers as there licence is not renewed on time. Do that via hardcopy.

The whole exercise looks to be an expensive exercise in time wasting.

Oh - that proposal is not easy reading.

its going to be a fustercluck, and will never be reliable.
and how is it going to work if you lend a rifle to a fellow FAL for a month, do we have to register it to them etc?
its all a load of political bollocks

It is what it is, so I am going to try be as constructive as possible.

The first statement they make - " The inclusion of licence holders’ personal and licence details in the Firearms Registry is a necessary first step before the Registry can begin recording details of the arms items you hold. These need to be recorded against the licence holder along with endorsements held."
This is incorrect. What they need is only your licence number. Your details are all linked in the police system anyway, and adding all your details makes your safety and privacy very vulnerable indeed. Anyone querying the firearms database needs to first access your FAL number via the Police computer system and then use your FAL number to see what firearms are registered. Does that make sense? Think of the missing name,
address and phone number as an additional line of defence.

In the final box I asked how much compensation I would get and will that include free guards at my front gate when note I said when not if the register is hacked, other than that I tried to be as constructive as possible with all my I don't agree answers to every question.

so how do you enter non English characters if say you own a moisin nagant ?

Valid question, and worth adding to a submission. What about Nazi markings on firearms? That is a serious question.

It appears that there is no cost which is good, but then if we have to do the work then that's how it should be.

Everyone should do the hard copy (paper) option. Then any keyboard errors are on them. And it will slow the whole thing down to an absolute crawl.

Hopefully it gets the ol yeetus deletus with a regime change

like another added tax on kiwisaver........ difference being FAL holders are a small minority by comparison....and big business isnt going to loose $$$$

Looks like I have 4yrs and 11months to fill out the paperwork, I wonder how switch barrel firearms (blaser, etc) will be treated/registered?

well that took a good hour to do.....
