Proactive release of papers regarding the Firearms Registry and Arms Safety and Control

Date Published:

December 2022

In 2020, a number of changes were made to the Arms Act 1983 through the Arms Legislation Act 2020 to strengthen the control and regulation of firearms in New Zealand.

These changes provide for the establishment of a registry to store and link information on all firearms and other arms items and their licence holders. This will enable greater and more centralised oversight of the number and location of firearms and other arms items in New Zealand.

The following papers were provided to the Minister of Police to update him regarding Police’s delivery of the registry and to provide broader updates around Police’s wider firearms work programme.

Key to sections of the Official Information Act 1982 under which information has been withheld.
