In recent years - on numerous occasions - NZ Police managers and their Association President have repeatedly claimed that our criminal GANGS are being supplied with illicit firearms by dishonest and lax firearms owners.
This spurious attempt to denigrate our fit & proper legitimate firearms owners - is their single main justification for wanting to establish a FIREARMS REGISTER.

Thursday .. Speaking with NZ Customs about New Zealand Gangs forming 'Global Networks' to import drugs, weapons and other illicit goods - Security analyst Dr Paul Buchanan from 36th Parallel Assessments said
"The number of drug interceptions of all types fluctuate from year to year but have trended up overall from a low of 452 in the first quarter of 2011 to regularly peaking at more than a 1000 in a three-month period from 2016 onward."
"Between 2014 and September 2020, there were 5,887 firearms, 11,265 firearms parts and 220,063 other weapons picked up at the NZ border."
So, over this same period - How many guns were recorded as handed to gang members by legitimate Licensed shooters for gangs to use in crimes?
