The tyrant who said this is out of office now and I certainly hope he does not die a natural death.
By the way, I still know a couple of people who did NOT comply with the '96 gun laws, (i.e. they did not hand in their semi auto rifles and shotguns back) and I am sure there are more who did not comply.

Was it 540,000 guns or 640,000?
Given the fact that New Zealand, with no gun law changes, has not suffered mass shootings either, that was half-a-billion dollars that could have been spent to more benefit elsewhere.
You may as well have banned the brand of shoes worn by the killer for the same effect.
The image of all those guns being piled in heaps and cut up and destroyed--registered lawfully-owned guns confiscated and destroyed by definitions and not by use or intent of user--was great propaganda material for the USA NRA: John Howard, thank you for revealing the true intent of our opposition.

Historically, the American people are familiar with tyranny and persecution.
The Right to Keep and Bear Arms [RKBA] may be our only protection. Besides, American blood has been spilled all over this planet to protect other people from tyranny.
After all, what are you supposed to do when they pull the great electrical switch and we return to the stone age in an instant? Are you going to pick up an electrically operated phone, after they've pulled the switch at the phone company too? It won't take much to turn any nation into a stone age culture. No internet, no phone, no light, and you can stand the blurb by.

It's good to know that we're not the only nation that elects idiots into high office.
This guy would fit right in at the democratic convention.
