It comes as a huge shock that the police have released details of firearms license holders to trademe in an effort to stop illegal firearms trading.
Not only is it a breach of my privacy but its a huge risk that names and addresses will now be held by non sworn police officers and available to a private organisation.
The best firearms security in the world in anonymity, the fact that the unlawful members of the public do not know who has firearms prevents homes being targeted for firearms burglaries.
I find the actions of the police in this case to be reprehensible and very possibly illegal.

I await your reply on this matter.
