That's a real shame mikee. Thanks for insight into those cats and way they have been handled.
I'm in no way saying these bastards shouldn't be caught and punished. I'm 110% for that. And they should be punished harshly. I think a register should be made at least for new purchases. Like our vehicle ownership register. Online and on time - that system works fine - as you say, our current firearms one does not. They are not the same in structure at all and neither was the one scrapped in 82. The Canadian one is a failure and I don't dispute that. A register/registry doesn't mean a government department needs to be set up nor does it mean checking any and every firearm yearly, it does however offer a starting point to get a picture at what we're dealing with in NZ and a way to at least begin tracking firearms so shit like this can be identified earlier than 69 guns down the track.
