The Current Percentage Of Gun Turn-ins In New Zealand

“We’ve got about 17,000 firearms in total – those numbers are good, but we want them to be way better, quite frankly. I’ve just got to get on and make sure that we work as hard as we can. There’s six months we’ve been given to carry out the exercise.”
[ … ]
In March, the Council of Licensed Firearms Owners said there could be as many as 400,000 weapons in New Zealand covered by the new legislation – that would leave about $500 per gun.
17 / 400 = 4.25%.
That’s low, but I would have actually expected it to have been lower than that. I’m left wondering what that 4.25% is going to do for defense of home and hearth in the future?
And I wonder what the final percentage will be? Do my New Zealand readers want to weigh in? I know you’re out there. I see you.

…and then what? Exactly what?
I like David Codrea’s simple response, “No. Your move.”

Maybe some of them turned in some pieces of crap worth less than the 500 bucks they got? Still not a good idea in my opinion,.
