The history of New Zealand’s gun control law is dominated by failure. Failure of gun owners to comply with the laws, failure of police and courts to enforce and uphold them, and most importantly the failure of successive Governments to provide the will and the resources to see the laws through. At the same time we have pioneered and proved the worth of strict registration of individual firearms. [More]
How? You just got done saying no one is complying!
As for the BS correlation ≠ causation assertion that "the low rate of misuse involving such firearms is acknowledged to be the result of registration," I don't acknowledge that any more than the rights swindlers will acknowledge the effect of substantially different demographics on that, or that such misuse is virtually nonexistent among the 5M or so NRA members, arguably the most heavily-armed civilian population on the planet.

So Philip Alpers now identifies himself as "Researcher & Policy Analyst in Firearm Injury Prevention." Back in 1999, he was much more forthcoming: "Coalition for Gun Control, New Zealand."
"My name is Philip Alpers, and I'm an advocate of gun control. I'm a New Zealander, and that means that I come from a country where even the police do not wear guns."
But even that was never enough for you, was it, Philip?
