New Zealand’s Plan To Buy Back Illegal Firearms Angers Gun Advocates

“Some of the offered prices for higher-end firearms are well out of kilter,” Nicole McKee, a council spokesman, was quoted by The New Zealand Herald as saying.
McKee said gun owners are “angry and they’re frustrated” because the government reneged on a promise not “to rip us off.”
You didn’t really expect otherwise, did you?
“The component prices are horrible robbery,” David Tipple, who owns a gun shop where the Christchurch shooter bought weapons, tells the Herald.
Tipple says he expects to lose “tens of thousands of dollars” in the buyback. Even so, he encourages owners to hand in their illegal weapons.
“We want them to comply,” he said. “Let’s get them paid quickly so we can get compliance. Nobody wants a black market.”
Oh, I suspect most gun owners want a black market. Regardless of what anyone wants, that’s what’s going to happen.

Kinda reminds me of the billionaire who offered a girl a million dollars to sleep with him. She readily agreed. He then offered her $100. “Hrmph!” she said, “What do you think I am!” The billionaire replied “I’d say that has already been established, now it is just a matter of negotiating price.”

At first they offered to charge us $39.99 and that seemed fair, but when we got there they changed the price to $59.99 for the train ride to the camps. We’re a little upset about that but we encourage everybody to get on the cattle cars, it’s the law.

Yep, enough folks are going to Refuse, to give them Pause as to if they Reeeely want that (un)Civil War they are Aiming for.
Fred – that advertising Postcard that came in the Mail offered Me a Special Deal for $19.95 if I brought a Friend or Family Member who paid Full Price. You are getting ripped….

NZ gun owners can’t squawk about the price, they failed to effectively keep their privilege. I do not see a better result here when the Communists take WH and Senate next year. No matter our Constitution, our foes care not a bit about words on parchment.
We are mostly full of brag and will fold quickly. Especially those come take it guys with the two story pick ups w/AR decals
