I think they will hang on until its time for the elections and then they'll have their say and win but Australia has less shooters per head of people making it harder for us to do similar or have done similar also the Australian gov made it lucrative and most took the plunge some people got more for their rifles than they were worth not thinking of the repercussions of doing so I hope they get a win in NZ and save their guns who knows what is in store for us in the future with gun laws as the mental capacity of the gov thinking practically deteriorates even further as time goes on

1) the government has not set any values on the previously lawfully owned firearms that must now be surrendered under pain of imprisonment, and
2) the cut-off date for compliance has been set as end Sept.
1) Would you surrender something on which no value has yet been set? Could turn into "surrender only".
2) A lot can happen in that time. Nobody knows how much this debacle will actually cost.
3) If the majority do not comply, how are they going to jail 20 - 30,000 "criminals?"
It will be a case of "standing strong" though.

we can speculate all we want but the reason they do not have firearms rego is because the shooters would not comply with stupidity
the nz government tried it in the 80's

Ziad you can't count
What you are thinking of is the E category semi autos, but many, many A category firearms are now illegal too and that is the bulk of the firearms now banned. It's estimated there could be around 300,000 banned guns out there.
