## Resource

Three years after its launch, New Zealand’s Firearms Registry is revealing startling insights: over 138,000 people have registered more than 683,000 firearms—averaging five guns per person—with rifles dominating at 66%. Auckland leads with nearly 80,000 registered weapons. Born from the 2019 tragedy, the system is now hailed as a vital public safety tool, helping police track legal ownership and combat illegal arms trafficking—with the government reviewing its future as part of a broader coalition agreement.
