Thread: Useing the firearms register

Just pondering on the next five years, which is the time frame for entering your details on the register: there are around 264,000 LFOs in NZ; each would have an average of 5 firearms (some collectors have over 100) giving a nominal figure of 1,325,000 firearms to load onto the register, with sales/purchases/swaps occurring probably daily, necessitating updating the data....she's going to be a big job to keep it up to date and accurate...

Thats an understatement
My suggestion is to keep a record yourself also with the date you registered the firearm and any other information you think may come in handy in a dispute situation

It’s going to be a dog’s breakfast for sure
Just need to cover your own arse aswell as there’s bound to be screw ups
And the FSA will take all the information they have as gospel but it’s bound to get mixed up at some point

It’s not going away and it is sadly the law so just gotta get on with it
