Self monitoring doesn't always work out that well, it would be especially problematic in this case where there are potential legal issues, and reliable and accurate information requirements etc etc.  Not sure volunteer's could be relied upon or used in this situation... and TBH the government could mandate it if they wanted and save themselves the $700 fee.  It needs to happen imho but obviously costs are going to have to be passed on and recovered...

It could be done for zero cost use volunters

Could something as important as the NZ Firearm register realistically be entrusted to volunteers? The potential for exploitation or manipulation of the volunteers by unsavoury individuals would be huge...
