Each to their own, I just don't see the difference from buying from a shop, who records the details in a nice big book that sits in the shop, which can be accessed by the Police via a search warrant at any time. I can't know who in the shop has access to that book, what security measures are in place for data control and how up to date it is. But as an endorsed FAL holder, I already have my firearms logged and permitted with NZ Police, hence my perspective.
