30 different firearms registers and
databases across federal, state and
territory agencies. A recent consultant’s
report on the options for a national
register revealed serious flaws in
the current registration system,
with 14,000 firearms disappearing
from registers each year.
Fair nough, although you should point out that all but seven of those registers are for Federal, State and
Territory Govt agencies and most will be sign in, sign out registers, making the finding of lost firearms easier to detect. The other seven are the State run registers of legally held firearms by LAFOs.However 30 registers that still don't prevent or help solve firearm crime only helps to prove that the civvy ones will never work.
