An Act entitled FIREARMS ACT 1978,

Being an Act to regulate and control the licensing and use of firearms, and for related purposes.

PART I. - PRELIMINARY.
1. COMPLIANCE WITH CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT.

This Act, to the extent that it regulates or restricts a right or freedom referred
to in Subdivision III.3.C (qualified rights) of the Constitution, namely–
(a) the freedom from arbitrary search and entry conferred by Section 44 of the Constitution; and
(b) the right to privacy conferred by Section 49 of the Constitution, is a law that is made for that purpose.

[Editor's Note: After reviewing available legislation and other source documents, GunPolicy.org found no evidence of a provision in law to regulate this aspect of firearm policy. As some authorities enforce restrictions only in practice, the mere absence of a published legal provision should be treated with caution]
