As a New Zealander, I would not say the people are against the government on this; on the contrary, there has been little opposition that I've seen. The reason why people haven't handed in their semiautomatics yet is probably because if they wait they'll get paid for them as part of the buy-back scheme that is to be set up. Why hand them in now and get nothing in return when you could wait and get some cash?
