While I do not agree with trademe having access, I am inclined to agree in part with @Taff that there is room for improvement. most, if not all, larger and even some smaller gun shops are going to digital data with their register records. In an ideal world all gunshops would have access to this service. In an ideal world there would be no way this information could leak out/ accidentally be emailed or otherwise be release to the people who would use it as a shopping list. In this ideal world, however, it would not be needed as people would obey the law and there would be no problem to fix.

By keeping the discussion civilised and amicable, perhaps there is hope that we can find a solution that will actually work and do more than make a few public servants or Trade me feel like they made a difference with a bit of PR.
