El Risistas remembers the buyback fondly, as well as the madness that took place afterwards.
| 00:00 - 00:05 | 2019 happens, the sky is falling. Parliament has achieved a land speed record with a Bill. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Nobody stops to think, 10 days and we have a new bill. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | Its a tragedy, everybody is in shock. |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Scapegoats aplenty. Gun owners took the fall, as is tradition in these situations. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | They made it easier to own a machinegun than a semi-auto. |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | It was cooked. |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | Cooked. |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | Nobody knew what the fuck was going on at any given time. |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | Nobody |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | It got so bad that DPMC made New Zealand Police look like the smartest people in the room. |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | And they were the guys who gave the terrorist a license. |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Nobody thought that maybe we should let the Royal Commission tell us what went wrong. |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | The Commission was neutered. |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | They couldnt recommend law changes. |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | Labour wanted to make sure nobody had a better idea. |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | New Zealand First was nowhere to be seen. |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | Cooked |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | So anyway we had a buyback. |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | And it got a 20% compliance rate. |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Everyone was selling them fucking airsoft parts and they couldnt say no because they fit on AR15's. |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | It was a sham. |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | As long as you werent a retard with stolen NZDF Steyr mags you were fine. |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But then they decided to do a second buyback. |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | Everyone was wondering "fuck now what?" |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | And the cops gave their magic 8-ball a shake. |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | We lost pump action shotguns and rifles with detachable magazines. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Nobody knows why. |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | Trigger disconnectors or something. |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | So you'd sell your gun the first time, to buy a new gun to sell the second time and so on. |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Taxpayer funded... |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | The M16 |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | M16 |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | The M16 turned out to be the safer investment. |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | Nobody saw that coming, machineguns being the best investment. |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | Palmerston North Police got their firearm storage robbed by a crackhead twice in one day. |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Really? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | 26 guns plus ammo. |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | So, 3,000 airsoft Magpul MBUS front sights later. |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | I was the richest man at the gun shop. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | I'm not sure who made a bigger profit from this whole ordeal, me or KPMG. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | What was compliance like after? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | Every second farmer or guy in the bush had a Browning BAR or 15-shot 22. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | They only found out it was prohibited when they tried to register it 6 years later. |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | "Only weapons of war" they said. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | Then they started crushing heirloom 22's over tubular magazines. |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Apparently crimping a tube was too big of an ask for the FSA. Till it wasnt. |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | So then all of a sudden everybody was registering actions with no magazines... they couldnt stop it. |
