But we've got a problem this year. New Zealand Police have advised the firearms communities that they have extensive delays in licensing, and those delays are bigger than the individuals themselves had realised. There are 9,800 firearms licence applications and renewals in backlog. The delays are totally out of control. We were told back in December 2020 that the backlog was there and that there was a promise to fix it, but the complaints are still coming in. Police have advised that it is going to take four to six months to process a firearms licence application, when once upon a time it took four weeks. What we are being told now by members of the community who are getting in touch with us is that it is taking well over six months for an application to be processed, and many more are telling us that it has been over 12 months for their applications to be processed.
