Listening to the Minister of Police on the radio this morning, he mentioned that the figure proposed for the buy back scheme isn't all for buying back guns, IIRC he said sixty million is for administration of the scheme.
He explained that "business users" should have written off the cost of any firearms over five years. Presumably he considers they don't qualify for any additional payment for firearms they've had for that time.
The police are still working on how to calculate the value of privately owned firearms. He says he wants to be fair but he doesn't want to spend any extra money above their estimate.
Listening to him wasn't particularly reassuring.
