WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Dozens of Christchurch gun owners on Saturday handed over their weapons in exchange for money, in the first of more than 250 planned buyback events around New Zealand after the government outlawed many types of semi-automatics.

Police said they paid more than 430,000 New Zealand dollars ($288,000) to 169 gun owners during the event. The money was paid directly into the bank accounts of gun owners.

The government has set aside more than $100 million to buy back weapons such as AR-15 style rifles, although many gun owners remain unhappy with the compensation on offer.

Under an amnesty, gun owners have until December to turn over their now-banned weapons.

First you hand over your ability to defend yourself.
Then the gov slaughters you.
History has proven this over and over and over again.

We don't really know who owns what in the US. We'll never see gun confiscation. Not in my lifetime at least.

The narrative that the Kiwis are willingly participating en masse is false. Typical media. The facts in the story are true except they fail to mention that out of an estimated 300,000 rifles less than 700 have been turned in.

No way the politicians want to admit that there is mass “disobedience” to one of their orders.

When you make criminals out of law abiding citizens, expect the rule of law to hold less sway.

So not only did they sell their best means of self defense, they provided the government with bank account information linked to the names of known gun owners. It’s a beefed up registration list.

Congrats to the kiwis on bending over so successfully.
