The Associate Justice Minister admits some ideas in her Arms Act rewrite didn't make it past the cutting room floor. 

She's revealed details of changes to the 1983 Act - delivered under an ACT-National coalition agreement.

It doesn't include Nicole McKee's bid to allow greater access to military-style semi-automatic weapons.

She says she's also not ruling out scrapping the gun registry, which she didn't get this time.

"I haven't changed my mind on the gun registry - I still want to scrap it, but I did not win the argument. Hence, we had to agree to disagree with the coalition partnership."
