There are currently more than
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.

Can I suggest you create a free weebly web site and put the info on there.
Weebly.com. very easy to set up and if you want you can easily link it to your own .com.au
brett might also have some ideas along these lines

And if you can see if you can find out the rate at which licensed firearm owners commit any crime, compared to the rest of society. I believe the number is down around 30% of the rest.

We are by nature, ales likely to be criminal bunch.
