Declared a success :joy::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy:

Police have paid out $433,000 to 169 gun owners at the Government’s first gun buy-back event.

A steady stream of gun owners arrived at the Riccarton Racecourse in Christchurch on Saturday, the first of 258 buy-back events to be held around the country.

Canterbury’s acting district commander Mike Johnson said gun owners had come out in force for what had been a “positive experience for them and our staff”.

“We’ve had 169 people come through today, we’ve been handed over 224 firearms, 217 parts and $433,000 has been paid out.”

Traditionally gun buybacks are old rust buckets. Guns that don’t even work.

What a shit article of openly bootlicking propaganda

So lets break this down…It is not a buy-back it is CONFISCATION at the threat of violence by the state…and to Rub it in using taxpayer’s money.

For example: You are a shop owner someone Robs you of $2500 and demands you sell them YOUR property at the threat of violence at the point of a gun.

That is the reality here.

Well to begin with, there are FAR less guns in New Zealand and far less New Zealanders who own guns, having much stricter gun laws in place than the US anyway. Secondly, this was only the first of 250 planned events, all across the country. Let’s see how successful the program is when it’s complete, not on day one.

Time for some irony: The Australian gun buy back fiasco was funded by the law abiding taxpayers who were the last people who would use a gun for criminal activity. Insult with injury.

Disarmed people are not citizens; they are subjects.

…and I’m confident that ALL the criminals possessing working guns are lining up to sell them and their ammunition to the government. :roll_eyes:

Law abiding citizens are being duped into disarming themselves.

At almost $2000 per gun, they are going to run out of money before they get through another 249 events. :wink:
