Community safety?

[no1_49er]

Apparently it's OK for somebody who has been sentenced to home detention for "domestic violence" to have access to firearms https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckla...NXJVOPBMN3MFI/
Oh yeh, I'm feeling safer, already.
I know.
The regisry will fix that.

Commissioner Coster just announced that the offender was not a licenced firearms owner.

Explain again how the registry will prevent this?

[Barry the hunter]

yes how the hell did he get it- is there a chain store called the gang gun shop only they know about- I hope no dumb idiot with a FAL loaned it to him -that's their license gone and bloody good job - but I suspect that there is no,s of firearms out there held by people with no FAL and no scruples and no registry will fix that

This is a public service announcement, keep this thread “on the right line” or else it will be binned real quick.

Hope the affected families have time to grieve before this is politicized both here and in the more public domains

That's a new one for the site safety supervisor added to add to the hazard ID board.

If its a diverted gun, that is purchased by a license holder and then diverted to an unlicensed person, the register gives Police a much better ability to find those people.

Other than that, it won't and I'm not sure why people think any different.

A quick scuff of a grinder ( mostly) negates registration.

Gangs still have plenty of unregistered guns. Just saying . .

Well they're smuggling drugs into the country by the ton, you can't tell me they're not bringing in illegal firearms aswell!

Drugs are way easier to detect than guns, drugs & firearms go hand in hand, no shortage of drugs on the streets

A quick audit of licence holders registered guns will highlight this.

Rest assured criminals will find a way around that.

Guys, Mr Coster says your the problem and implores you to stop selling your legal firearms to the the grey market. You are one of two problems he has. FFS

[Longrun]

I understand well enough. The licenced holder will still be responsible for firearms registered to their licence.
