A Safer
System for Trading Firearms Online!
Unparalleled Limited has worked closely with Police and the New Zealand
Deerstalkers Association in developing the Gun Rifle Reload
website – setting a new benchmark for what is considered industry best practice
with regard to trading firearms online.
GunRifleReload.co.nz has been designed specifically for trading firearms and other hunting and shooting related items. Our vision is to create New Zealand’s best specialist auction and trading website for hunting and shooting enthusiasts. This is the only website of its kind to attract support from the country’s largest firearms user group, the New Zealand
Deerstalkers' Association. The NZDA share the concerns of Managing Director Ben
Vial; “without developing a better system for trading firearms online we risk
having such activity banned completely”. Certainly the vast majority of
hunters and shooters have an interest in being allowed to continue to enjoy the
privilege of trading online. Unparalleled Limited has made an
effort to safeguard the online trading interests of all New Zealand shooters
by addressing the key issues.
Unparalleled Limited has
worked and continues to work closely with the Firearms Licensing department at
the New Zealand Police National Headquarters in Wellington. This ensures that
every registered user’s firearms licence number, expiry date and endorsements
are checked before ‘verified’ status is granted. Whilst this is no substitute for
all the normal steps and paperwork that still need to be completed when buying
or selling a firearm, it does provide an extra safety net or backup in the case
of human error. Additionally, it offers site users reassurance that they are
dealing with other legitimate licence holders.
GunRifleReload.co.nz is the
first and only specialist firearms auction website in New Zealand to incorporate
the use of SSL encryption. The GunRifleReload.co.nz website uses AES-256 bit
high-grade SSL encryption verified by Equifax. This is very similar to the
security technology employed by the banks when you login to their websites. It
ensures that passwords and other sensitive information do not travel in plain
text over the internet, where they could be intercepted. Additionally, it stops
such information being intercepted by wifi scanning software when using
unsecured wifi access points, such as those often found in library’s and coffee
shops.
The
GunRifleReload.co.nz website was designed and setup, from day one, with the
sole purpose of creating a better system for trading firearms online.
Unparalleled Limited has tackled the key deficiencies, inadequacies and loop
holes that currently exist in relation to trading firearms online head on. Managing
Director Ben Vial explains; “we were never interested in simply complying with
the minimum requirements of the law, but in setting a new benchmark for what is
considered industry best practice”.
Unparalleled
Limited insists that users trade using their firearms licence number as their
username. This adds transparency and traceability to every sale, whilst
deterring those who feel they have something to hide from using the site. Of
course a firearms licence number on its own does not indentify users to anyone
aside from the Police. It is also worth noting that privacy laws prevent Police
from disclosing personal information such as names and addresses. The result is
the ideal blend of anonymity and transparency, giving users reassurance that
they are dealing with other legitimate licence holders, whilst protecting their
personal information and address from those who browse the site.
The
analogy used by Managing Director Ben Vial to explain the company’s stance on
firearms licence numbers is that of licence plates on cars. Those of us who
drive vehicles on public roads are required by law to display a number plate.
GunRifleReload.co.nz uses firearms licence numbers in the same way - they
identify the parties concerned to relevant authorities whilst protecting personal
information such as names and addresses from the general public. Even those law
abiding citizens among us are required to display a number plate - even if we
have never had a speeding ticket. The GunRifleReload.co.nz website works in the
same way; it is about prevention and deterrence. It is about creating an extra
safety net which acts as a backup in the case of human error. This is a key
aspect of the GunRifleReload.co.nz website which sets it apart from the
competition.
Unparalleled Limited is a registered and
incorporated company based in Christchurch.
