Ok I will firmly place a tinfoil hat on and answer that. You register your 6 firearms today. Next week they decide you only allowed 3 they now know you have 3 too many. Or you register your 15 no issues until they decide you need to pay $100 per year per firearm.Quote:

I'm lead to believe more people are killed in NZ each average year by assault with a golf club as well (ignoring years where the stats are well chucked out).
The issue is with the foundation it lays. Governments love scope creep - what they've sold the registry on this year damn sure isn't what they will be using it for in 5, 10+ years time. Soon we will be dealing with the same BS they do in Aussie. For example one minute a Firearm is allowed into the country, the next minute the govt decides that particular model is evil and bans it. Then they go straight to their registry, find who owns one, and demand they hand their lawfully purchased items in.Quote:

Well for a start they’ve already had one cock up, how would you like your details, firearm numbers and types falling into the wrong hands?Quote:

They don't have to wait for a data breach for that to happen.Quote:

Hopefully enough people vote ACT and they will be big dog and National will just be the wagging tail, here's hoping!Quote:
