What a waste of time, money and fine firearms to accomplish.... NOTHING

In Trudeau's interview today with John Tory he implied there will be strict new regulations coming out in his election campaign soon to announced.
I'm guessing a full out ban on all semi's is coming down the pipe, the antigun crowd is outraged the Liberals have't banned handguns so the turd will throw gun owners under the bus for votes.

Default Numbers are lacking

"The program began on July 13. As of Sunday, a total of 10,242 firearms were surrendered, police told CNN. An additional 1,269 were handed in under amnesty"
"It’s estimated that there are about 1.5 million guns in circulation in New Zealand."

(10242+1269)/1500000 = 0.007674 = .77%
This doesn't really pass the reason-ability test because not all of the 1.5M are prohibited.

To get a slightly better number, looking at the buyback price list (https://www.police.govt.nz/sites/def...price-list.pdf), I'm going to just wager an average at $1500/firearm.

They budgeted 208M, at $1500/each that's roughly 140,000 firearms.
These numbers translate to a 8.2% compliance rate which may be more reasonable.

I wonder how long before crates of SKS's get smuggled in just so they can make money reselling them to the buyback - It's new Comrad, it has full cosmoline!

4 stabbed to death in Las Vega's...Crickets...Guy in NZ (stabs a couple people)..mostly crickets..from the MSM...only reason we know about that one is the great TV footage to up ratings.

The turd will implement a ban, then declare martial law...we will never get rid of the smell.
