Only "Class E" firearms are themselves registered, to my knowledge. A holder of a less permissive license can purchase very similar firearms, so long as they are modified to be in compliance (e.g., have a thumb-hole stock instead of a traditional pistol grip) and they only use 7-round magazines.
This does not yet have Parliamentary approval, but is expected to pass. It includes mandatory buybacks, but since they do not have a gun registry law they will have some challenges measuring compliance.
