My USSR stamped 70's Baikal 12Gauge could bring me more cash from the 'steal back' than its worth but I have no intention of handing it in. Even if they offered my 10 times what its worth I'd hang on to it out of spite.
Others however I cannot speak for.
Die Judicii you are in Queensland so it costs you nothing to make with the big talk.
ButchDDG41 assuming you are licenced for both hunting and target shooting then the limit is 10.
If you have 10 or fewer then you won't get anything for handing something in. Probably not even a polite thank you.
How the hand-in works is that you hand in the firearm at a designated police station, the firearm is photographed and then supposedly destroyed. Afterwards somebody makes an assessment on how much you will be paid.
You won't have any say in the matter.
You won't get the advertised amount for something otherwise worth a couple of hundred dollars.
You won't get cash, you get a credit against some future State impost. You are giving the state a loan.
Is it surprising that politicians mislead those who will happily allow themselves to be mislead.
Our only hope is a change of Government at the next election. Preferably ON.
Even the bimbo from Vaucluse would be tolerable if she doesn't go changing her mind yet again.
Inform your non shooting and or anti gun friends that this so called buy back sets a precedent and could be applied to anything at the discretion of the government on passing legislation.
So you think you have "rights". Think again, you only have privileges that have been granted by legislation.
