They don't turn up to real crime. We had 2 conrete saw's stolen recently... didn't give a rats arse about it. Guy breaking into homes on a Hamilton street with numerous calls and they didn't give a rats arse... unless its a woke post on FB and you have a license.

Heading home from a hunt in the Kaimanawa's on straight road and no blind spots for overtaking..real safe road section and cop on top of hill. Never before have I seen so many flashing lights from oncoming letting everyone know the pig was there.

Sister in law worked at Hunting and Fishing. To sell a $4 sling swivel had to fill out the cop forms and the customer got annoyed had to give address, probably didn't vote Act either.

Do you mind if I check that as that does not sound correct and may come down to a misunderstanding of the law and "gun parts"; the swivel could be used on an air rifle, for example, and, if you're over 18, don't need a license for. And if correct, is massive over reach by the police.

To be precise it was a leathel screw type. 3D printers are going to give them a proper melt down.
Perspective on H&F they were 100% for the semi ban, the more crazy the cops are the better for their business as it eliminates others from supply.
There was a guy on TM ar15 and that was the end of him.

Another episode of NZ registration failure is at a data entry level. This involves a simple storage of several fireams at another LFO's address and cops decided to type into the computor and register the firearms as owned by the license firearm holder at the storage address. Causing the owner and the storer time correcting the fiasco and another waste of taxpayers hard earned dollars. A serious breach considering current heavy handed treatment of firearm owners by the system. The cops are unable to enter the data correctly at a basic level, consequently they had no idea who owned the firearms therefor the registration was a waste and also in respect to registering the legal possession of the firearms a total failure.

Keep it simple for them with their most modern computor data entry system they could come up with and that causes them to stumble over.

AI take on the matter and what is generally known as true by the public.;

Yes, firearm owners in New Zealand are generally required to register their firearms with the Firearms Registry, a part of the Firearms Safety Authority. This requirement applies to most firearms, including non-prohibited firearms, prohibited firearms, and certain parts or accessories.

Apparently claimed by one cop on the phone their system cannot record the person who legally owns firearms stored at another address. This causes a real problem when selling and nobody knows this failing feature therefor are at risk when transfering a firearm to a buyer. According to the cop the registered LFO storer behaves as the owner the firearm and the storer sells and transfers the firearm to buyer with license. Most will be thinking it's fine for the the owner to do a physical transfer and instead are in real legal peril.

LFO's shoud be really clear and must double check on what cops are doing at the start to ensure all is correct to avoid errors. Going back to earlier advice here you should record phone calls and avoid claims it was your fault. Any dealings with police it is advisable to record to be safe than sorry.

Also opens another possible can of worms made legal according to the cop that storing firearms at another address you better have a great relationship unless you have a fallout and the storer claims ownership. This is amateur law writing by the other parties, Labour, National, and the rest whereby they have failed to supply a record of who owns a firearm. The present computor data storeage system cannot record a single firearm storage place and legal ownership in respect to the debacle that has been outlined here.

As an average inventor In my spare time I write patents and what can pass in NZ will need more detail in other jurisdictions such as the US. Vague and make things up seems to be a norm here.

Perhaps due to most hate the register and only a tenth have registered...they were politically afraid to make it more detailed to include both storage and legal owner and intrusive or maybe it was a few $ too costly on the budget so the cops ommited the IT upgrade to include them both.

Firearm owners like to think their guns should be on their license and once again as the Kings council noted all property rights have been extinguished and this is an extra example of these careless laws; If you own a gun and have it stored its on the storers license.

Dumbing it down for the cops. It is a reality, the news reports of qualifying a swim test without getting wet for the newbies to become cops. Intially it was limited to 100 or so of these newbies and that grew to admitting over 300 had not qualified.

After trying their best to sneak it past AI sums it up;

The NZ Police is now ordering recruits to return for the assessment, which is part of the training to help officers make informed decisions in water emergencies. The Ministry of Justice is also conducting a review of the recruitment process to ensure other standards are not compromised.

Doing things by their book applies to us.

Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee told Stuff the Arms Act currently does not specifically regulate 3D printing, adding “this is something I have publicly stated needs to be addressed”.

Those reforms would include rewriting the Act to create “a fit-for-purpose regime which has public safety, effective regulatory processes and compliance at its heart”.

? answer 3d printers will need licenses and registration. She's a bit of a pillock at times. Ai is really going to screw with her processors. When the 3D printer can think for itself. Lathes and the rest the same?

Its an hour long wait as it is for contacting her firearm safety authority as it is right now. With only a portion of the of registered firearm owners using the system.

They are incapable of writing fit for purpose law for a starter... maybe try Google Ai would improve it.

3d printers aren't new overseas and here she is having an Ardern. "Regime"..it appears so.

Another episode of NZ registration failure is at a data entry level. ...

The FSA already had to abandon their plans to require seperate registration for magazines after they discovered that magazines often have serial numbers longer than 16 digits and their database did not allow for SN's longer than that.

I'm kind of tempted to get all my firearms stamped with extremely long SN's. Maybe 30-40 digit. Maybe:

In the wake of the Graz school shooting, the Austrian government has announced legislation to restrict access to firearms. Details are yet to emerge, but Vienna has come under pressure to act due to a particular revelation: The gunman, 21-year-old Artur A., had been declared unfit to serve by Austria's conscription based army due to psychological concerns. The exemption decision explicitly states that A. was deemed not mentally stable enough to handle firearms. Nevertheless, under Austrian laws he had been able to buy weapons without a background check. (Source)

In all fairness and all activism aside, that's a moronic loophole. That kid should've never been allowed to buy guns.
