Oh the tragic boat/blimp accidents!I wonder if they had a run on shovels, storage bags and corrosion inhibitors

It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to sell guns on an International level unless you are a bonified dealer who knows the ropes. There are export/import licenses just to name two.I wonder why they didn’t set up a gunbroker account and get fair value?
Come on, did anyone expect the government to pay fair market value?
Governments have been toppled over such acts.
I am shocked, shocked to discover that there is gambling rampant abuse of the rights of a minority going on in this democracy!
You can't look at NZ through American lenses. The two entities are not comparable.
Like the UK and Australia, the Kiwi citizens are (and were) already disarmed a long time ago. For the ordinary citizen there is no self defense with a gun. There is no "good guy with a gun" amongst the neighbours.
The subscriber base isn't there. If it was, self defense would be a viable reason for a firearms license in those territories.
When the subscriber base is mainly concerned with hunting, sport and pest control, it's a lot easier to ban certain classes of weapons.
It's not the government that's the problem.
It's the lack of subscribers to all forms of gun ownership that is the problem.
Sporting purposes be damned, the above is why we're armed.There will be a Kristallnacht for gun owners at some point, even here.

6 inch works, I hear.Will a stripped AR lower fit inside a 4” PVC pipe? Asking for a friend.
Who DIDN'T expect gun control fanatics to be the lying grifters we all KNEW they were?
(Edited to remove double negative.)
It's not just BIG government, it is government in general - unfortunately, a necessary evil whose powers need to be checked and curtailed often and with harsh punishmentIf the NZ government had any common sense and/or ethics, it would first research the average retail value (over the last 3 years) of the guns to be confiscated and pay the citizen that price, and allow for some wiggle room if the citizen can prove the gun is above average value, for whatever reason. I mean, how hard is that? The answer: it's not hard at all.
This is another reason to never, ever trust big government.
That should be the lesson for Americans. Too many people justify gun ownership in terms of hunting and sport shooting, pastimes that are on the decline. The core of the 2nd Amendment is a civil and political right (self defense and -- however theoretical -- defense against tyranny). You can't protect gun ownership, long term, by appealing to the Fudds. You have to increase the number who are actively using their guns for self defense. (I don't carry, but I see those who do as my allies, politically. As long as they don't carry openly, because that alienates the bystanders.) We need to have more legal, concealed carrying among minority communities.When the subscriber base is mainly concerned with hunting, sport and pest control, it's a lot easier to ban certain classes of weapons.
The jokes about "boating accidents"---
Doesn't a govt. which might have had the vast majority of "legal guns" on a registry Know when a gun is sold, otherwise it still is listed as being in the owner's possession?
