Or the one in post # 15? Actually it is an expansion and update...

Here's some results of their buy back. Many people have said they got less than 1/3 of the banned weapons off the street. Apparently kiwis know how to say, "I will not comply" as well

I'll be impressed when a couple of hundred of those circle their wagons around those who searched that house in the story mentioned above.

No updates, and the only "expansion" is some guy complaining about historical firearms being destroyed. Only so many times you can tell the same story.

Well the election is coming up this year in NZ and there is some fighting going on over the 2nd batch of gun bills. Not sure if it will pass in the end.

Yep, lots of guns never got turned over for sure. Some were saved going to those with a collectors licence and some were saved under the new prohibited endorsement.

No school, or mall, or movie shootings. So it’s no easy access to firearms that caused this.

Something changed with society...

And they stopped all that because of a couple of high profile assassinations. Like a hired killer could not get a gun otherwise. Face it, it was a chance to initiate some gun control laws and they did.
