New figures show gun owners are holding back on handing in their firearms, because they’re waiting to hear how much the Government will pay for them

Figures released to Newstalk ZB by the New Zealand Police showed that, as of Sunday night, only 530 guns had been handed in since the ban on semi-automatic guns was finalised in early April.

There are around 250,000 licenced firearm holders in New Zealand and it’s estimated as many as 300,000 guns could now be illegal.

It comes as gun owners are waiting on any details around compensation for their guns.

If the people lead, the leaders will eventually follow.

At least the surviving leaders will follow...

Well, that works.

It's probably enough to take over the weenie-poo government and write a real constitution.

Gun owners aren’t fools. They see the unfriendly immigrants flowing in, and they know government isn’t made of good guys.

As the old bumper sticker used to say, “first registration then confiscation”.

In American the Politicos want to License your God Given Rights.

First your Guns, then you will have to Register to publish your Opinions and become an official State sponsored “Journalist”.

Left wing governments are acting out some kind of Cultural Suicide Fetish when it comes to importing Islam.

Yeah, I bet all those gun owners are waiting to hear how much the government will pay them for their guns. Riiiight.

My guess is that most, if not all of them, are engaged in civil disobedience because they want to keep their guns, no matter what the liberal, bleeding-heart prime minister wants.

That’s a two-way street. Liberty in their country is being murdered and the perpetrators have names and home addresses.

And the Jacinda (Jezebel) Arderns and pseudo male cohorts in this country would do the same to us in a heartbeat if they could.
