New Zealanders defy gun confiscation order

After the idiot shot up the mosques in Christchurch NZ, the AOC of NZ, Jacinda Ardern, banned for all practical purposes all private possession of semi auto rifles.  Immediately following this new law the fake news media fell all over each other printing crap about how people were glad to turn their guns in with some people relieved to be free of the tyranny of owning a weapon.  After all, if someone used a gun to kill 40 people then the people of NZ just wanted away from guns.

That was the shit they were printing.  The goal was to convince everyone that it was OK and yes, even noble and patriotic to turn your guns in.  But with the conservative wave waking people up, nobody was easily hypnotized.  I have said many times that you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but when the trust Ponzi collapse you can't fool anyone ever.

And in this case, we are now seeing that the deadline for having to turn them in has come and gone yet only some 500 weapons have been turned in.  In a sample size of 300k, that is literally noise.  The people of NZ have collectively given their AOC moron the middle finger.  And since the people are not following orders, the powers that be are making excuses for it.  For example, it's not that they don't want to turn them in, but they need to be compensated for their loss.  Yeah, that's the ticket, they are not simply telling government to fuck the Hell off.  Nooo, the people love their government and want to obey their every edict, dictate and mandate.  But they have to get paid for their loss.

Anyone who believes this is a moron.  You know why??  Because government has no money to pay off literally everyone.  Here's how it would work.

Government bureaucrat: "OK sir, I see you are turning in your AR15.  Ooooo, that's a nice one with all kinds of nice furniture (yes that's what AR15 accouterments are called), a scope and a LASER range finder.  That must have set you back a pretty penny.  You won't be needing that out in the wops.  How much coin you need in order to turn it in?"

Aussie dude:  "Yeah nah.  I paid 1200 buk and its brand new."

Government bureaucrat: "OK it's a deal.  But first we need to have a special assessment tax in order to have the money to buy it.  Please write us a check for 1200 buk and then we can pay you out of that".

Don't you see folks?  Government has no money of its own. Thus it is an economic certainty that every red cent they use to trick people out of their freedom will be paid not by government but rather by the people.  Why?  Because it is a basic law of economics that when a bill is to be paid it doesn't matter who should rightfully pay.  The only factor is who has the ABILITY to pay.  And government has no money that it didn't take from the people first.  PERIOD.

So, no.  Lack of compensation is not the reason nobody is turning in their guns.  The people want to be safe and they trust their guns for keeping them safe more than they trust government to do it.  Ask all those dead Muslims why that might be.
