UPDATE: New Zealand gun confiscation program steps on a rake. “The deadline for the mandatory gun buyback program was Friday. The New Zealand program successfully led to the compensated confiscation of 51,000 of the targeted firearms. But as the left-leaning Guardian newspaper reports, this is out of an estimated 170,000 such guns currently in circulation. And there are still a minimum of 1.2 million legally owned firearms in New Zealand on top of that. This means that many people ignored the demand that they turn in their guns and trust the supposedly benevolent government to protect them from themselves.’
