There is a certain collectors/antiques(?) firearms licence you can apply for in NSW, essentially you can own/horde guns but not use them in any manner.
I'd imagine that's what those 70 individuals are referring to. I'm not sure how that licence is enforced but I'd imagine it is pretty strict, most likely for things like the Lithgow small arms museum
They specified that these are functional firearms and not collections. I'm no expert on this, but apparently collectable class of firearms are meant to be disabled from being used somehow.
Ahh right, yeah hmm.. it is a bit excessive at that point
