Look at it this way, the majority of restricted owners have a backbone. Someone should parse that table and give us a breakdown of restricted vs non restricted. With GSG leading the way( why they have multiple entries?) i wouldn’t be shocked if majority is previously NR firearms.

Wild to me that so many people would willfully disclose NR guns and hand them in. Half the incentive to grab NR's was their lack of registration with the confiscation gang.

It's not wild to me. A majority of old people voted for this.

The Liberal Party practices "big tent politics". The majority of voters don't give a shit about firearms and firearms law. It wasn't a campaign plank in most regions.

So a lot of people were voting Left for other reasons. And somehow the Party came to the conclusion that the small but well organized and militant Anti-Gun demographic needed to be placated.

There are a lot of aspects that make me suspect that, for most of the officials in the Party, their hearts really aren't in this. There's a lot of things that feel like "shooting from the hip" about this.
