And how is that working for NZ?
Apparently very few firearms ate being turned in.

While I don't know the specifics...didn't New Zealand ban military style semi-automatics? Because those are NOT assault rifles.

Not that this matrers to gun grabbers as they typically don't know much about gun, but assault rifles have select fire capabilities...meaning they can switch between semi-auto and full auto, and possibly even 3 round bursts. Those are ALREADY BANNED from civilian ownership. So, this poll doesn't make sense.

Here's what is happening. Everyone who is scared of guns likes to call the AR-15 an assault rifle because of the political implications.

But every "style" of gun has been used by the military. The military has used semi-automatic rifles, semi-auto pistols and semi-auto shotguns. The military has also used bolt action rifles, revolvers, and pump action shotguns. All of these firearms are available to civilians. To say you want to ban all military style semi-auto guns...is to ban EVERY semi-auto gun.
