Community safety?

[Micky Duck]

The amount of firearms handed in at the buyback did not equal the amount of SKSs imported up to that point, by just possibly one importer. Bet your sweet ass there's plenty of firearm not held by licensed people out there.....

we were discussing this on side of bush trail today while waiting for the billy to boil..... if we use for arguments sake a figure of 10,000 were imported and also for arguments sake suggest that over last 30 years the LICENCED community had kept a hold of 9500 of them..the rest either died or dissapeared.... and MOST licenced folk behaved and handed them in to crusher there would still be the origonal 500 that just dont exist or exist but arent out in open...I personally saw a sks sitting in farm shed a month after they were goneburgers...just sitting on 44gallon drum in an open shed...... not my place to say anything as was at work....

Given that we were importing them from somewhere after 1956 or so, say 65 years I'd say the odds are on that it would be more than 10,000. Be interesting to know how many Mausers were imported of the various types, I think several thousand M48 type were imported by Sportways in Mt Eden alone. A lot of them would have been reworked for sporters, bloody nice actions for that if somewhat deeply roll-stamped across the front ring.
