Thread: Useing the firearms register

I work in IT security, not having 2FA would be seen as a joke in my community.

It does make me laugh when I'm accessing things off my android device, have to use 2FA and then copy and paste the resulting code over. It kind of strikes me as a 'secure but not really any better than a password' attempt.

Jeez my 2 year old grand daughter can unlock my phone. Not sure how she does it but she does.

Apparently 10,000 people signed up to the register - at that rate about 6 years to do everyone. About a year and a half past the deadline!

I read that too as I'm one of them due to circumstances beyond my control

Just did mine, was nice and easy but did get caught out by leaving a space after the last letter at one point. I took photos of serial numbers then entered the data while getting my daughter to sleep, realme account was up to date from changing details for election packs

anyone got their contact number -about to catalogue my lot then they can do entry via a phonecall as im technophoba soreass!!!!!

I see the latest in the media too - interesting viewpoints from all commentators.

I'm not sure the justification of 'the Police want it' really validates the expenditure of that much public money - very hard to see where the cost benefit ratio figures to fully support the introduction and upkeep of the system will come from. If it's truly secure, functional without errors and the cost to the people forced to contribute their details is minimal then it (apart from hassle factor) won't cause any issues even if it does no benefit longterm. On the other hand, if it increase risk of diversion, consumes a huge amount of resources that could be better utilised elsewhere and doesn't reduce the amount of firearms being held unlawfully what is the actual point?

You summed that up nicely rushy.
I didn't even try as I had an estate lot to deal with so just rang them.
I had few curly ones but no problems in the end as every thing had some sort of serial number.

MyIRD I find not terrible to use. Just need to remember password.

From that I see the gun hating Cahill using the aussie port Arthur rhetoric.
Bloody well know he wants it for future confiscations..I mean buybacks.
It beggars belief that he would have them put, at a minimum, 200 million into establishing the registry instead of putting it into better wages and conditions for frontline coppers.
Plus the mouthpiece pollies that have no idea

cahill -in the words on an old bloke i knew(alas now in nthe great maimai in the sky)he should have been shot into the po and kicked under the bloody bed.

Righto folks a valid point to think on, National have promised 300 more Front-line Officers from the existing Police Budget. The Firearms Register allocated monies covers that quite neatly and we all know it is only a matter of time before the Police HQ start diverting said funds to what they deem more urgent/pressing matters anyway as they have always done. There is also a very good reason Police Minister (Ginny) Andersen would not release the new Licencing Fees regime before the Election, that in itself tells LaFOs it is extremely bad news for them. Food for thought.

Ginny Andersen-shed have been better deployed building sundecks on submarines -useless wee beige keyboard tapper.
