As of last week, only around 700 weapons had been turned over. There are an estimated 1.5 million guns—with an unknown number subject to the new prohibition on semiautomatic firearms—in the country overall.
Traditionally relaxed in its approach to firearms regulation, and enjoying a low crime rate, New Zealand has no firearms registration rule. That means authorities have no easy way of knowing what guns are in circulation or who owns them.
Advice to Kiwis – Grease well, insert in PVC sewer pipe, glue-on end caps, bury where you can recover in short notice. The gun-grabbing totalitarians can go f… themselves.

how many of toronto’s gangbanger murderers would be
stopped by making guns super double illegal?

Two?????
As a friend of mine from Northern Ontario once remarked, “Do you have any idea how many rifles and shotguns have been accumulated in houses, farms, cottages and camps up here over the past hundred or so years? Well, neither does the government!”
There is nothing a government or its minions fear and hate more than individuals who can defend themselves.
They are also unhappy about individuals owning gold bullion.
By the way, with 1.5 million guns, New Zealand – notwithstanding the recent carnage at those mosques – manages to achieve an annual gun-related death rate of one in a 100,000.
Meanwhile, with something like two million or more registered vehicles on the road down there, they manage to achieve an annual traffic-related death rate of eight in a 100,000.
So, to recap: registered vehicles would appear to cause eight times as many deaths as unregistered guns. Huh.

The Toronto ramavan terrorist killed 10 while the Toronto handgun terrorist only killed two.
5:1 ratio.
Begs the question:
Unless you are going to be in a public setting is there any registry of anything that would work/have a high participation rate?
The government so fears citizens owning guns, that it has no problem creating a laughable false flag mass shooter video in Christchurch.
THAT is the length they’ll go to to disarm the citizenry.
Because they know very well, that we will not tolerate what they have planned for us, if we are armed.
Such high compliance,takes me back to the official end of the long gun registry.
Where the bureaucrats bragged about having 2 million guns registered, yes folks, 2 million, an incredible effort by the government.
Now this 2 million included RCMP fire arms and all weapons on the restricted list, ie handguns,short barrel rifles and grandfathered automatics.
Such an achievement I suspect the registry staff all got bonuses.
Of course these same people told us that there were an estimated 7 million gun owners and an estimated 21 million guns, when they rammed the long Gun Registry down our throats,making,apparently, 5 million Canadians instant criminals..
Remember this lesson,”Do not steal,your government hates competition”.
Tell me where the High River RCMP break-ins got their information from?
TO protect the citizens. Wait, the town was cordoned off, army helicopters flying around, and waist deep water.
Right.
I think we know.
The High River story I particularly enjoyed, was the woman who came-into the det furious; she’d left her door unlocked for them and the RCMP didn’t even try it, they just kicked it down. Now there was significant $$$-worth of damage to the door and the house, and she was on the hook for it.
The desk cop put-on a sort of half-embarrassed grin and answered “Aww, c’mon – do you know how much fun it is kicking-down doors?”, as if that somehow excused it.
So perfectly Liberal – “Hey – we’re the COPS! We can do what we want, ain’t nobody going to arrest us!”
“Hey – we’re the COPS! We can do what we want, ain’t nobody going to arrest us!”
And that is their general MO 24/7. No accountability just thuggery including intimidation by the brass of innocents caught in crossfire. Jackbooted thugs one and all
Ah yes – the High River Gun Grab.
While every decent man and woman was working against the flood, the RCMP were breaking and entering and thieving.
As predicted, there have been many tragic boating accidents.
Everybody knew this going in. The government of New Zealand, probably to the great surprise of the People of New Zealand, is run by virtue signaling Leftist idiots.
Next election should prove interesting.
To paraphrase the ‘open borders’ Democrats … “What are ya gonna do? round-up 11M (sic) illegal immigrants and deport them?”
Huh? but these types believe they CAN round-up and seize millions of guns …
If Jacinda (best understood as Justin in a dress) had the slightest interest in public safety, she would have organized the registration of Muslims resident in New Zealand, as an interim step towards the goal of removing them from New Zealand—either by returning them to point of origin, or, if this is impractical, to a penal colony on NZ territory in the Pacific or Antarctic, hundreds of miles from anywhere, where they can only possibly harm themselves or each other.
Register Muslims, not guns in the hands of Christians or Jews.
Then get rid of the Muslims, not the guns.
If China can do it, so can New Zealand. So can any country.
What colour arm bands should they wear? Yellow is taken.
Green. The colour of Islam.
You asked.
A-hole canadian, the greats threat to the Jews for the last 1500 years was the RCC. A year or so ago, the German RCC apologized for their actions during WW2. In Poland, during WW2, a village of roughly 3000, 1/2 Jewish and 1/2 RC, the RC’s killed off the Jews. In 13th and 14th centuries, the RCC told Jews to convert to Christianity, or get out. Maybe an ignorant bigot like you should learn facts before opening pie hole
“In Poland, during WW2, a village of roughly 3000, 1/2 Jewish and 1/2 RC, the RC’s killed off the Jews. ”
Bull$hit. You got no clue what you’re talking about and are orders of magnitude off.
NME and Watto are the price we all pay for frequenting SDA.
Still a small price compared to UnMe.

Rotton Bastards!! When it is the cops kicking your door down, however, who do you call?
Time to go shopping.

I like to think I’m not being lumped in with any other commenters here. I believe that I am polite and fact-based.
You may disagree with me, and I won’t take offense. So far, I have found that the only vitriol in exchanges on my posts are directed at me. I agree with 90% of the views of the people who post here – I differ only in the root cause. It was only when I recently learned about real history – as opposed to taught history – by reading older books no longer in circulation who the enemy of civilization has been for almost 1700 years. And all they’ve done since then is tighten their grip.
“These will become black-market weapons if their owners choose not to comply with the law and become criminals instead” – only the gov’t should be criminal. Which they happily are.
