I wonder.........

Sarcasm Warning! The Mexican Cartels would never put guns in a container with drugs because they know that is illegal in New Zealand. Yeah right! Ha ha ha ha

There was a guy that got busted printing his own in Papakura, not sure I'd be confidant firing one of them though.

3D printed firearms are on the rise to

but hold on .TV has us enraptured by programmes like "border security,"a lot of the time giving us the impression that if a flea farts they will find it and deal to it???????what gives.soory got to go and feed my unicorn.

I'm just amazed at the mark up between Mexico and here. If the Cartels apply the same markup to firearms an AR would be setting you back around $50k. Make one wonder why kiwi's are so complacent about being ripped off for everything.

You keen on doing a business model?

They wouldn't have to mark them up.
Would be like a "but wait there's more...for every ton of drugs you get your choice of 10 free sub machine guns. Pick from Ar15s, Mac 10s or uzis." + postage and packaging of course

In terms of crooks advertising it reminds me of the Russian darknet drug distribution cartel called Kraken stealing a bus in Moscow, painting it up in their logo with a QR code and leaving it blocking a downtown intersection - note 5 in the Wiki

Couple of things I’ve heard recently regarding this subject despite what Nash and Cahill say about thefts from LFOs being the Main source many of the guns come in now alongside drug shipments or are illegally manufactured,
The next biggest source is the straw purchasers the police created by giving licences to patched 38 gang members and 1135 501s.
The police admitting that 98-99 percent of all the guns they seized in the course of their work since 2019 had all their serial numbers removed or had been illegally imported or were illegally manufactured
Basically means the register is essentially useless especially if you know how many mistakes they make at data entry time

I work in people's houses and it's unbelievable how often I see guns lying around and also gun safes with the keys in them or sitting down less than a metre away. Ammo is common too on windowsills, which is a really dumb advertisement for someone snooping around. I think if police did spot checks on random rural gun owners houses about 1 in 20 of them would lose their license at any time.

So I think that's where they get them from, they could import them or 3D print them if they had to but it's easier to just tell some lower down associate to go out burglarizing.

So are you alone in the house to see these firearms not locked away?

100%
