The Police Minister is putting pressure on National to confirm they plan to keep the firearms registry if they enter Government.

A survey conducted by Horizon Research and Gun Control NZ shows 71 percent support the registry, while 14 percent oppose it.

Minister Ginny Andersen fears that ACT, who have criticised the registry, may bully National into scrapping it if they enter a coalition. 

"We know it's a bottom line for ACT, and so National needs to be clear as to what their position is on a gun registry."
