It's a little early in the program to be sure. Not sure how many liberal gun owners live in NZ. 37 guns might give an indication that there are 37 of them. Or there is one that owned 37 of the offending scary semi autos. Let's see. Is that 37 Ruger 10/22s?

If anyone would be the first resistance to the One World Gun Confiscation Agenda, my guess is the Aussies will do a good job. Maybe they will inspire the rest of the world. After reading what some so-called Patriots write on the internet,..Lord knows we could use some inspiration as well.

MOST NEW ZEALAND GUN OWNERS SO FAR DECLINE TO HAND IN ANYTHING
12/13/19 2:15 AM | by Chris Eger
With only a week before time is up to sell the government their newly-outlawed guns, many in New Zealand haven’t.
The Pacific country has a nationwide ban on several types of common firearms with a deadline of Dec. 20. Police Minister Stuart Nash earlier this year had estimated that as many as 300,000 guns of various manufacture– out of the 1.5 million in circulation– were targeted by the move. However, the latest figures from government sources are that only about 36,000 guns have been sold at police-arranged events by Nov. 11, at a cost of NZ$70 million ($45 million) in public funds.
“The clock is ticking on the last opportunity to receive payment for prohibited firearms and parts, or to hand over unwanted or unlawful guns without fear of prosecution under the amnesty,” said Nash in a statement. “If people don’t hand in the other prohibited firearms and parts by 20 Dec. they will get no money and will face up to five years in prison and the loss of their firearms license.”
While hundreds of gun owners have applied for special permits to keep their banned firearms, and others have modified their collection to meet new mandates, pundits feel that many are simply staying away.
“[Nash] has failed to engage with the firearms community and they’re responding by not engaging with the buyback,” said Brett Hudson with the New Zealand National Party, a group that holds just under half of the seats in the country’s House of Representatives. Worse Hudson pointed out that criminals aren’t turning in their guns either.
“Gangs are not complying with the buyback and we are seeing no action from the Government to tackle the problems of illegal firearm use, with the focus seemingly on the law-abiding firearms community,” said Hudson.

So what was the final outcome? Did they go door to door to confiscate.
