Gun records unreliable at crisis-hit registry

The NSW Government is facing a staff revolt at its police firearms registry amid fears the database containing records of the state's 200,000 gun owners and their million-plus firearms has been corrupted.

There are also growing concerns about the collection of data, and evidence that as much as 60 per cent of the database is inaccurate, according to Shooters Party MP John Tingle.

60% accuracy? That's about how well the BATF does with machine guns. And if your records are wrong you can be charged with a crime. Sounds peachy!
