“Te Tari Pūreke is about keeping people safe while enabling the legitimate and safe use of firearms,” says Authority Executive Director Angela Brazier.
Police Minister Chris Hipkins launched the Authority yesterday, marking the transition from Police as an administrator of the Arms Act, to a modern, effective regulator, according to the government.
Te Tari Pūreke is focussed on the regulation and safety of the lawful firearms ownership in New Zealand. The Authority has been transitioning from November 2021 and is responsible for the significant and ongoing Arms Act regulatory implementations that began in 2019. It is a key response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the terrorist attack on Christchurch masjidain on 15 March 2019.
“Te Tari Pūreke is responsible for overseeing and improving the firearms licencing system. We will continue to work closely with Police operations to reduce the number of illicit firearms in our communities, to better identify and track unlawful firearms and have oversight of lawful firearms ownership,” says Angela.
“The name Te Tari Pūreke was gifted by Waikato-Tainui and reflects the regulator’s practical purpose and function. We exist to support and protect our communities – be that the firearms community, or our broader communities of New Zealand.
“Te Tari Pūreke is about keeping our communities safe and at the same time providing effective services to our firearms licence holders.”
The launch also implemented www.firearmssafetyauthority.govt.nz which for the first time give firearms licence applicants the ability to apply and pay online for licences and endorsements by using MyFirearms.
“This portal is the first step towards our online firearms registry which will go live from June 2023. The registry will link firearms to licence holders, so there is a clear picture of the legally held firearms in New Zealand and improved ability to trace firearms.
“This will start to provide information to frontline Police about where firearms are in the community. This will help keep our people safe when they’re responding to incidents,” Angela says.
“It’s about protecting our communities while enabling the legitimate and safe use of firearms.”
In the ‘MyFirearms’ online portal applicants can submit and pay for their Firearms licence and endorsements. The following application types will make up the first release of the online forms:
- Firearms licence application
- Dealer’s licence application (includes Dealer endorsements)
- Dealer employee endorsement
- Pistol target shooting endorsement
- Pest control employer endorsement
- Pest control employee endorsement
- Bona fide collector endorsement
- Notification of change of address
- Notification of change of health practitioner
The current paper-based application process will still be available for applicants to use. Applicants may post in applications or use the current document upload portal.
Applicants using this process must still pay at NZ Post.
Kelvyn Alps Counterspin Media says he is going to blow the Christchurch Mosque Attacks out of the water
Which is a bit perplexing
Considering You aren’t even allowed to mention Tarrants Manifesto
Nor the pre-recorded video
And for which he and Hanna have been remanded and are to appear in Court
In what could be considered politically motivated trumped-up charges
Having had all their equipment stolen
It is a fake account of a fake event that did not happen
Over the target
Sorry Anon, if you are claiming the Christchurch attack didn’t happen, and believe it, you are living on another planet.
Time will tell if this is a big con job the cops have been trying to put there woke inspector in charge of this
Read about this and the Gordon Duff report at Jew World Order online…definitely a Zionist Psy-Op designed to remove the firearms from law-abiding citizens.
This is followed by the ‘Registration’ in June 2023
Gun confiscations after that, followed by genocide / holocaust / holodomor!!!
MAGA = Make Ardern Go Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
