I will take that as a "no."
No worries, they can just vote themselves another extension this spring, right?
They told us that it was urgent to get these terrible guns "off the street" when they announced the ban. Two and a half years later they still have not implemented the "buy-back" program to actually do so. They don't seem to consider it as urgent as they said it was.
It took New Zealand 8 months to create their buyback program from announcement to implementation. In Canada we're at 30 months with no signs of progress.
Are they intergalactically incompetent, or are they dragging this out as long as possible on purpose?
