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 come after a Monday announcement by Prime minister Jacinda Ardern that several "in principle decisions" on gun control have been made by Cabinet ministers, and has praised 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.
"All I want is to go back to my horses, say goodbye to firearms and the bullshit shooting community and its drama and let the police and government sort this one out," wrote Breidahl in a Facebook post. "I don’t NEED, want or care about guns. I can happily live my life without them."
"To make our community safer, the time to act is now," she said. "I want to remind people, you can surrender your gun to the police at any time. In fact I have seen reports that people are in fact already doing this. I applaud that effort, and if you are thinking about surrendering your weapon, I would encourage you to do so."
Looks like that was wishful thinking on the part of the Prime Minister.

Most reports cited three tweets, including that of John Hart, a farmer and Green Party member from Wairarapa, who told BuzzFeed News he surrendered his semiautomatic rifle two days after the attack.
He tweeted a photo of the form he signed to hand over his rifle to the police to be destroyed, saying, "We don't need these in our country. We have to make sure it's #NeverAgain." -BuzzFeed

Family escapes Syrian war only to be gunned down in New Zealand mosque shooting
March 18, 2019
BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. – Among those killed in the New Zealand mosque shooting were members of a Circassian family who had just been relocated to New Zealand three months ago after fleeing the Syrian war.
The family's plight has become an instant focus for the tight-knit Circassian community in New Jersey.
At her Haledon home, Rouzana Muhajer was crying and scanning social media for news of the mosque shooting Friday when she got word that her childhood friend had been at one of the two mosques where the massacre unfolded.
Rouzana Muhajer, left, and Sahab Dabet talk to loved ones in Haledon hours before a scheduled flight to New Zealand. They are going to offer support to a friend whose husband and son were killed in the mosque shooting. (Photo: Hannan Adely/northjersey.com)
The friend, Salwa Tsay, escaped, but her husband Khaled Mustafa, a horse trainer, and her son Hamza, 14, an award-winning equestrian, were killed. Another son Zaid, 12, was shot three times and remains in critical condition. The refugee family had escaped the Syrian war, but knew no one in New Zealand .
So on Monday morning, Muhajer and friend Sahab Dabet boarded a flight out of Newark Liberty International Airport headed to New Zealand via Los Angeles to offer their condolences and help. With them, they bring a united message of support from the Circassian community, who in diaspora around the world have rallied around this family.

Who are Palestine refugees?
According to UNRWA, Palestine refugees are “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period June 1, 1946 to May 15, 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.”
UNRWA services are available to all those living in its area of operations who meet this definition, who are registered with the Agency and who need assistance. The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children, are also eligible for registration.
When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services.
- 1.3 million Palestine refugees in the Gaza Strip (out of a total population of 1.9 million Palestinians)
- 809,738 Palestine refugees in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem)
- Around half a million Palestine refugees in Syria
- Around 450,000 Palestine refugees in Lebanon
- 2 million+ Palestine refugees in Jordan

New Zealand Bans ‘Military-Style’ Semiautomatics, ‘High-Capacity’ Mags
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...tary-style-semiautomatics-high-capacity-mags/
AWR HAWKINS 20 Mar 2019
Prime Minster Jacinda Ardern announced Thursday that New Zealand has officially banned “military-style” semiautomatic rifles and “high-capacity” magazines.
The Daily Mail quoted Ardern saying, “On March 15 our history changed forever. Now, our laws will too. We are announcing action today on behalf of all New Zealanders to strengthen our gun laws and make our country a safer place.” She added, “Now, six days after this attack, we are announcing a ban on all military style semi-automatics and assault rifles in New Zealand.”
Ardern noted that “related parts used to convert these guns into [military style semi-automatics] are also being banned, along with all high-capacity magazines.”
CBS News reported Ardern saying, “We’re taking out of circulation the guns that can be modified that way and are designed essentially to take lives.”
(That means confiscation. - AF)
After announcing the ban, Ardern addressed law-abiding gun owners, saying, “To owners who have legitimate uses for their guns, I want to reiterate that the actions being announced today are not because of you, and are not directed at you. Our actions, on behalf of all New Zealanders, are directed at making sure this never happens again.”
(You are taking people's property. You are taking away people's rights. Not a one of them has done anything wrong. But you're doing it anyway. OF COURSE IT IS DIRECTED AT THEM YOU NUMB CUNT, YOU. - AF)
On March 16, 2019, Breitbart News reported that the Christchurch attacker possessed five guns during his attack, and two of those guns were semiautomatic rifles. He had a license to own guns in New Zealand and acquired his guns legally.

US liberals are jumping on this issue already:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez applauds New Zealand for banning assault rifles
- Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York applauded New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for taking legislative action after her country faced its worst shooting in history.
- Ardern announced on Thursday a sweeping ban on "military style semi-automatic" firearms — including assault rifles — following the Christchurch shooting.
- "Christchurch happened, and within days New Zealand acted to get weapons of war out of the consumer market," Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter. "This is what leadership looks like."

Of course they are.
Just getting started.
Wait until the next shooting happens here.
Wish I could say I had an inkling of how it would all turn out...but I don't.

For a second I had to rack my brain to try and figure out what kind of sick thing you were alluding to. Then I remembered that thread. Touche.

There could be under-polling.
Someone had brought this up at a MAGA rally too:

I don't doubt it a bit.
Another way is to take 10 polls in the same district or area, and throw out
9, Publish the 'favorable' one , favorable to the agenda.

New Zealand to Broadcast Muslim Call to Prayer Friday as #HeadScarfforHarmony Campaign Urges Non-Muslim Women to Wear Hijab
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced New Zealand will broadcast the Muslim call to prayer across the nation on TV and radio Friday. That same day New Zealand women are being encouraged to wear the Islamic head covering on Friday in sympathy with Muslims in the wake of the mass shooting terror attack by white eco-nationalist Brenton Tarrant at two Christchurch mosques last Friday that killed 50 and wounded dozens.
