None.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the problem is police have no idea how many prohibited firearms are or were in circulation, which means determining the compliance rate and its subsequent impact on crime is near impossible.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To quote the country&#8217;s Auditor-General, &#8220;Without this information, we do not yet know how effective the scheme was and whether implementing the scheme has delivered value for money.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between administrative costs; marketing, advertising, and outreach; and the compensation for each prohibited item turned in, the buyback cost taxpayers approximately $100 million.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Parliament Member Simeon Brown, a member of the National Party, the buyback is &#8220;merely a marketing exercise.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s because most law-abiding New Zealanders handed in their now-prohibited firearms, but gangs and criminals, those who pose the greatest risk to our safety, did not,&#8221; he explained.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<i>Ben Shapiro explains why gun buybacks don&#8217;t work and why most policies created in the aftermath of extremely rare events, like mass killings, are ineffective.<\/i>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judging by the penalties for those who refuse to comply, the government is not messing around.  Mere possession of a prohibited firearm (that was legal just a few years ago!) can land someone behind bars for up to 5 years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"376\" title=\"New Zealand\u2019s 0M Buyback is Failing, But Gov\u2019t Proceeding w\/ Round 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Penalties-1024x376.png\" alt=\"New Zealand\u2019s 0M Buyback is Failing, But Gov\u2019t Proceeding w\/ Round 2\" class=\"wp-image-140875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Penalties-1024x376.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Penalties-400x147.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Penalties-150x55.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Penalties-768x282.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Penalties.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A snapshot of some of the offenses and their respective fines and penalties.
