I understand lcam. Thanks for confirming that that is the methodology you were intending. It is way past the point of being able to give all the guns up. The same fear would be here if there had ever been a massive ownership of guns here, people would be aware and concerned that criminals still had these guns.
In New Zealand we do have quite a few guns per capita, but the laws are very robust as I said, and no one is allowed to own a pistol except a collector or a pistol sport participant. And often those pistols get kept locked in the gun club.
Same with assault rifles, they are not allowed. It is pretty much hunting guns only, with provisions for collectors. However, there are still loop holes and there are still undesirables with illegal guns. But our population and borders are a factor to very little gun violence. My theory would be that the guns that are in the hands of criminals cost them a lot of money and they stand to lose them by being raided by the police once they use them. So they just keep them for very important naughty business.
