New Zealand's Gun Owners Have So Far Voluntarily Surrendered 37 Firearms (truncated)

Full title: New Zealand's Gun Owners Have So Far Voluntarily Surrendered 37 Firearms — Of An Estimated 1.2 Million

Following reports that a flood of New Zealand gun owners have been voluntarily surrending their firearms in the wake of last Friday's Christchurch mosque attack that left 50 dead, the numbers are in on how many Kiwis actually handed over their weapons.

Out of an estimated 1.2 million registered guns, New Zealand police report that as of Tuesday night, 37 firearms have been surrendered nationwide, according to BuzzFeed.

No accounting was provided of how many people owned those guns, the types of firearms, or where they were surrendered.

The reports of citizens disarming themselves came after a Monday announcement by Prime minister Jacinda Ardern that several "in principle decisions" on gun control have been made by Cabinet ministers, while praising residents who have surrendered their guns to police.

So far, we know of four people who have; Green Party member John Hart and longtime gun owner "@SirWB" - who each turned in a rifle, a grandmother who goes by the Twitter handle "@FeyHag" who said she requested for her family's guns to be handed in for destruction, and former New Zealand Army soldier Pete Breidahl - who said he warned local police of extremists at a local rifle club where he said he suspected the shooter was a member.

The muzloving headscarf wearing dhimmi will order police to break into non-muz houses to take guns.

Unsure of how Kiwis are about forced confiscation, but here they (the confiscators) had better take the employer provided life insurance policy at the maximum benefit. Their families will need it.

Once new squealand destroys all those guns, they’ll be ripe for invasion. We could send all illegals there.

The Fake News strikes again. The Left really, really wants to see millions of guns turned in, so that’s what they report. Never believe them.

I suspected this would be the case. The armed Kiwis are telling the fascist prime minister to go suck an egg.

I also suspect the photos of the leftist wymen in mooslem headgear were tightly cropped by the New Zealand Nazi press to make it appear that the pro-mooslem female morons were great in numbers. It’s very likely they were actors hired by the dopey prime minister.

The aftermath of the mooslem shooting was all a horsecrap setup by the NWO crowd.

Let’s see now: NZ has a psychopath running around with a rifle and shotgun murdering innocent peaceful people in a place of worship, and the government wants law-abiding gun owners to voluntarily disarm themselves? Yeah, that’s a good one.

“The Weapons are Registered. The Authorities will get them one way or another.”

When they ask for the weapons, tell the goons you lost them in a boating accident. As the nazi gestapo drives away, bring out the “lost” weapons and ambush them. Do that a dozen times, and the appetite to play gestapo will quickly fade away.

Incidentally, the number of government goons willing to go out on highly dangerous missions is severely limited. Most government employees are fat, low IQ squishes who are more keenly interested in collecting a pension, not playing gestapo.

Obviously, the majority of the population are white nationalists. The entire island should be nuked.

“accessorized”

THAT’S the killer, right there.

Heaven forbid you share one tactical flashlight between three guns.

“MOLON LABE” must be their cry and stand if they are to remain safe and free. Otherwise they will be living under the real threat of governmental tyranny, and murder at the hands of their soon coming Islamic masters.

I know guys who would snort in derision at a single person owning only 37 weapons.

I was frowning in my mind the last couple of days, about how easily the gun owners in New Zealand surrendered to the cultural invaders.

Turns out they have a survival spark in them still.

Yes.

They create chaos then offer a solution that has been decided by them beforehand.

I really despise them.

I saw those ads.
If Trump was involved, he would have demanded his money back.
They were inane.

I've come to believe nothing I read about an incident for the first few days. It's all lies and narrative.
