    How could there possibly be 13 'unregistered' pistols floating around??

    I thought all pistols had to be registered, proper safes, licence category, etc.

    Something is seriously wrong here and there's only one reasonable explanation. Unlawful importations.

    Excuse me, are you trying to say that along with shitloads of drugs and drug precursors that are brought into the country literally all the time, there may also be firearms being smuggled too?

    Nonsense, it's obviously licensed firearm owners supplying all the guns!

    Maybe cutdown firearms under 762mm are counted as "pistols"?

    That would be my bet too.
    Sawn off shoties etc being lumped into the pistol catagory.

    pretty sure Mike Loder (RIP) proved that police count cut down guns as pistols. They technically are pistols according to the law but not pistols in the sense of a glock etc
