But wait, maybe that's not the worst. The real nightmare out of this legislation is the register. I might add it's a political nightmare for New Zealand First, who, let's be clear, despite all their promises of jam tomorrow and "We're sorry.", are voting for a firearms register. That's the reality of the transaction here, and people up and down Aotearoa New Zealand will know that Ron Mark, whatever he says, voted for a register. The problem with a register is not only is it ineffective—and we know that because half the illegal firearms confiscated by police have their serial numbers ground off anyway—a register is one Government leak away from being a steal-to-order list of every firearm in this country for the worst criminal elements in this country. How's that for an own goal when the Minister says his legislation is supposed to be keeping the guns out of the hands of the bad people? He's one leak away from giving bad people more guns than ever before. That's what happens when you don't ask the basic questions: what's the intention? How effective will it be? What are the unintended consequences of this policy?
