Thread: Useing the firearms register

Yahoo, my mate took his firearm out of my safe this week, one more I do not have to muck about with

Well she’s up and running fellahs. I just heard on the news that twenty six firearms license holders have registered their firearms so far. If there are 240;000 of us there is now only 239,974 of us to go. My missus saw the article and asked me “are you going to do that”? I answered “yep but I am in no rush”. Woo hoo fucking hoo roll on October/November when I will have a actionable event

Well i would like to buy a 308 but not sure I want to be #27 on the list so might wait for a bit

Ha ha ha, I found myself wondering how many of them were serving Police Officers.

the bit on the news had the fella looking at firearms himself and entering details...pretty sure he was one of the 4-5 shown in the video earlier...

Bro in law txt me to say it was being an ass to do and did I know how to do it.
I replied that he has a couple of years sort of so dont have to stress.

I can see a few people getting in the poo, a private sale and 1 party suggests not to register the trade to avoid a "trigger incident" then the other one gets cold feet & registers it. Party #1 has then then failed to register within 30 days.

Yea Im not so sure bro. Personally I would see the suggestion not to register the trade as a red flag, I have fully accepted that if I purchase a rifle from now on that it will be a "triggering incident" and I will have to register all of them. Not saying I agree with it it but I have accepted it !!

To suggest to not do so would go against the law and would bring your 'fit and proper' status into question if discovered.

As stated above I will just be patient, wait a bit until more than 26 people have done so !!

Remember there will be "triggering incidents" happening every day

100% agree with you @kukuwai
I was a bit slow having my clear out of extra bits so now I'll just have to wait a few months. Also I don't want to be 1 of the first Guinea pigs

its actually plurry funny/weird timing that Nigel Latter is on TV tonight with programme about how easy it is to scam people via internet

Because if there is a penalty then people aren't going to buy unregistered guns which will create a secondary market for all of the "gey" guns and if there isn't a penalty then some people won't register all of their firearms because they will be able to "bring them in" later

People respond to incentives whatever the morals of the situation may seem

except.....if your registered and buy off someone who isnt...you will bring gun into register doesnt matter if gun is blue ,grey.pink or painted rainbow stripes,there isnt a destinction between where they come from...it matters not.once its in its in.

the catch 22 with only registering some..is if at anytime you have a snap inspection.... and something not registered is found..yo uwill at best be given a please explain...same deal if for some reason your are linked to something not registered..photo on internet etc....

Yep..........and I predict that the enforcement of the register will take precedent over enforcement of gangs on the basis that we are low hanging fruit and easy pickings.......Would like to be proved wrong but dont think I will be....

I lived in OZ during the height of their buyback. I didn't know any LFOs there at the time but I heard all sorts of rumors that there was a shortage of large dia plastic pipe due to people using it to bury rifles in the garden. I'm sure they went through the same misgivings that LFOs here are but as @Micky Duck stated you only need to get caught once with 1 item you didn't register and you could be buggered.
