New Zealand's Firearms Registry records 220,000 firearms registered by 46,000 license holders, post-2019 Christchurch attack.

New Zealand's Firearms Registry, established after the Christchurch terror attack in 2019, has recorded 220,000 firearms registered by over 46,000 license holders, a significant milestone in its five-year journey. The registry aims to improve firearm oversight and safety, linking all lawfully held firearms to individual license holders, and making it more difficult for criminals to acquire firearms.
