That 1 of 2 things will happen:

The police will start to record these details, serials, who's picking it up etc. Therefore making a register of some kind. (Most likely in my view)

IF NOT they will instead use it as a reason for "why not register your firearms" when you already have to pick it up from them anyway. (They may as well just do #1 because what are you going to do about it?)

All of the above agreed with, but remember the police is a public organisation staffed by... well people. People who would not relish to have yet another admin duty forced on them. More likely that they would levy an admin fee for the service, which would be reasonable of course.

BTW Anyone know of statistics of firearms getting "lost" in the mail? I'd have thought that could be a likely source of criminal-owned guns (not, as has been alleged, Firearms Licensees buying guns for criminals).

Whilst you're right the people who actually have to do the work probably wouldn't be for it, it's never actually them who decides whether they do or not.
