    Got to wonder if if the countrys running rampant with straw buyers why so many gun shops are closing down. Plus surley theres no such thing as paying someone not to check a container.? How about that container of the mongols that was flagged to be checked a while back and suddenly dissapeared and was found empty ??? Just cause the police said so hmmm could correct or covering arse??

    he's a tosser it would be good to go back to the days when we had actual reporters that reported the news rather than inflated egos pushing their own agendas .....taxpayer funded too being on tv1
    I'm in the 80% (and rising) that neither trust nor watch legacy media, so they are mostly preaching to their own choir.

    The last time I heard of a straw buyer that made it to the news for buying guns and onselling them to unlicenced people (gang members?) was NOT picked up by the register as it had not started yet. It was p[icked up by a large gunstore noticing something unusual in their own sales records and they bought it to the Police for investigation yet somehow Cahill and the media made it seem like the gunshops fault... And if it had not been for the meticulus attention to detail by the gun shop the Police would have never known 'cos they certainly were not looking....

    I’m sure there are a few straw buyers out there. It would be a bloody miracle if there wasn’t given the police & powers that be thought it was ok to grant FAL to gang members, associates & 501 deportees. WTF ?!? It’s exactly the same problem that lead to the Tarrant situation.

    The stupid (actually its negligence) outcome of the police, politicians & media refusing to recognise the biggest risk out there, which is illegal importation of firearms is that this risk is not being addressed!! Can’t fix something until you get your big boys pants on & admit there’s a problem. Failure to do this is negligence imo.

    The register is always at risk of being leaked, compromised or hacked. In fact all 3. And it’s already been compromised by police staff on at least one case the public are aware of. Yes, if the administration of registry sat with another govt department the same risks apply. The stupid (dangerous) part about the way this register has been set up is that multiple govt entities have access to it. From memory 6 - 8 departments. So the risk of data getting leaked or sent to bad people is massively increased. Hence why I’m totally opposed to the register.

    Well, we don't know that the importation is a majority of the risk because only 7% of the containers are checked. We can say we think this may be a major source, but we can't prove it. We need to check more containers, period.

    If this is your idea of a logical argument maybe you should stick with play-doh

    Police have failed with databases (C-cat and E cat riddled with errors) cost overruns (INCIS) and even had several officers disciplined for accessing information illegally (numerous but the latest was all the coppers checking the file of the officer killed by some Nelson scum on NYE)

    Police are not trusted with administering the register because they keep fucking it up

    Stop trying to say that the grass is blue and the sky is green
    Unsure why you need to be so angry all the time and like to insult.

    Your misinterpreting what I’m saying, as long as there are people running data bases there is always the chance of a data leak regardless of what checks and balances are put in place and regardless of what government department hold information.

    Yes, by all means place the firearms registry into the hands of someone independent of the police, change the name, flash lettering, give it a colour but you still run into the issues of potential data leaks!

    In a perfect world we wouldn’t need databases and like you I was also against registration as it didn’t work the first time around here in NZ which is why it got abolished in 1983 and from what I see it’s not working in other countries either for that matter, think of Canada as a recent example.

    They won't address this, as its just too big of a problem. Over a Million TEU's enter NZ annually. Divide by 365 = 2740 A DAY

    Then we will never know, either way. Well, we will, once they stop the ability for anyone to get firearms and confiscate all the known ones, and, we still have gun crime, they will be forced to.

    I'm only angry when people try pissing in my pocket then tell me it's raining and I only insult people who are deserving of such sobriquets as police apologist, you get the idea. If I wanted to actually insult you rather than calling out your idea as bullshit then you would know all about it

    I am not misrepresenting what you are saying, I understand that there is relative performance of government departments, I am saying that police are knuckle-draggers compared to the IT abilities of IRD or even Internal Affairs or whatever the hell they are calling themselves these days
    We all know that ACC is a bullying culture, Corrections is a shitshow and KO are wasteful eedjits who ignore a budget in favour of the treaty

    I'm saying that Popo have form in this area for screwing things up and also. as Scotty pointed out above thread, they have shown their politicisation as being anti FAL owners and are now a political pressure group and therefore have a conflict of interest

    Please do not forget, Police have shown their hand as being anti FAL and as such they are now our enemies - I spoke to a guy I work with only last week about an ongoing crime being committed and will I report it? Fuck no
    If a problem occurs in my neighbourhood will I call Police? Haha you must be joking

    That ship has sailed and gone

    I'll comply with the law as far as I have to but the blue gang can go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut as far as I care
