I'm curious to see what some of our members think.
Quote:“Owning a firearm is a privilege not a right,” Ardern said in a statement announcing the new bill on Friday.
Quote:The new bill, details of which have already been made public and that will have its first reading on Sept. 24, will include the creation of a registry to monitor and track every firearm legally held in New Zealand.
Quote:It also tightens other rules for gun dealers and for individuals to get and keep a firearm license. License renewal for individuals was also reduced to five years from ten years.

It's already in place here in Portugal for a while. When my grandpa died, the cops contacted me, the heir, if I wanted to keep my gd double barreled shotgun that he used to hunt wabbits and partridge. I was tempted to keep it as a memento of the days he took me hunting, I usually lead the dogs to drive the game out while he shooted them. Alas, it was too much hassle for something I wasn't going to use (i hunt with a fork and knife in the dish).
I gave it away and got a few euros back. I thought of selling it, but it had not a market value. If it had the barrels sideways, I could've made a mint selling it to a licensed owner. It was superimposed barrels, two shot, but for some reason, there is collectors money on the sideways barreled ones.
