The firearm thread

Yep, the type of propellant was the culprit - and was supplied as a result of a back-hand deal between a politician and a propellant manufacturer.

That accounts for the fouling problem but not for the tumbling bullet fiasco.

So, the budgeted amount for the entire confiscation scheme is $150 million.

Really?

Administration, disposal, supervision of said disposal, bank and admin fees,consultants, accountants, lawyers, social workers, feel good meetings, several news letters saying how wonderful things are now, freight, secure storage etc. Then chuck on GST etc

then if this is so easy, why don’t we ban motorcycles next. Harley’s only worth $5 and a bag of chips right

Did you see the "depreciation on firearms" on tonights news?
It seems the paper shufflers rate firearms at "20% depreciation per year"... AND a lifetime of 10years per firearm!

Fucking hilarious!

Yep that is a joke. A decent brand new firearm is worth a little less just used then holds its value as long as nothing bad happens to it.

Funny how when it comes down to it you always come up a little short.
Maybe you would appear smarter, if you were not actually clearly projecting your inadequacies onto others.
The NZ firearms law has changed it had overwhelming support from all the real political parties. Also the vast majority of voters grow up get over it.

Maybe you should just stick to the NRA script.
Only problem is the NRA script doesn't cover the will of the majority of the people of NZ and Australia outlawing firearms that are not needed.
Or the Swiss doing the same despite the US gun lobby holding them up as a leading light.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zug_massacre
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48328867


In the case of the US the NRA despite massive spending is also failing.
60% of US voters want stricter Gun Control
75% say they want a 30 day waiting period upon purchasing a firearm
96% want universal background checks
77% of democrats and 48% republicans supporting a ban on assault riffles.
Only 30% of US voters own guns


Also you "rarely clever" gun lobby types here don't seem to appreciate is the more this law change costs, with regards to the buy back, the less likely to will ever be repealed,becuase this money would have been wasted so go ahead keep on claiming the cost are climbing ever higher . You are only helping the cause further.
